Hi,
I recently installed Word 2007 on my laptop (uses Vista) but cannot
select
word as the default program for opening .doc files. When I try to set
it via
the control panel it just ignores my selection and returns to the
current
setting - notepad - which is of no use as the format is wrong so
everything
is illegible.
I'm selecting the word program through the 'browse' option
ProgramFiles/Microsoft Office/Office12/WinWord
Only way to open files now is to save them, open Word and then find the
file.
Can anyone help? Doc files opened perfectly with my previous version of
Word.
Thanks
Open Windows Explorer
Click Tools
Click "Folder optiosn"
Select the " Files type" tab
Scroll down ti the "doc" file type
Click on " change"
Change to Word document
HTH
