If you have installed Office correctly the file associations should be set
as part of the installation and the applications should have entries in the
Start Menu. By default the installation will put the program files in the
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 folder and for Word the file in
question is Winword.exe.
Word 2007 would open any Word document format without the service pack.

I just bought and downloaded Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student
Ed. for $150. I cannot find any of the programs (Word, Excel, or
Powerpoint) on my C: drive after I've installed it and updated it
with Service Pack 1 in order for me to open a Microsoft Word doc. or
docx. So I right click over a document, click on "Open With", click
on "Choose Default Program" (because if I just try to open it, Vista
will open with Notepad), and tried to find Microsoft Word 2007 in
"Other Programs" by clicking on the "Browse" button but cannot find
any of the Office suites in my C: drive. Can someone please let me
know why I can't find any of the programs I just bought and installed
in my computer?
