Hi Doug
Thank you for responding to my question. Unfortunately I can't seem to
find
the correct program. If i hunt through the office folder and get to the
folder office14 I can see the programs for Excel, Winword, Powerpnt etc...
but when i try and open the doc with Winword I only get the option of
opening
with Microsoft Office 2010 component. I have set the doc files to default
open with Winword but when i try and open them it says *.doc is not a
valid
Win32 application.
I have no idea what to do. I have re-installed the beta a couple of times
to
see if this helps but it makes no difference.
Thx again for taking the time to offer some advice
