Default Unable to open Word Document by double click ?

The next step is to disable any add-ins that could be interfering with
Word, to see if the problem stops. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErr...ngWord.htm#NAV and
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...sInstalled.htm
for instructions.

If the problem does stop, then you can put back the add-ins one at a
time. If at some point the problem resumes, then the last add-in you
restored was the cause, and you can permanently disable it.

Dear Jay,

Thank you for your advice.

I have reregistered Word 2003 but still get the same problem. I have
selected a Word document, click the right hand button and select Open. Only
Word 2003 is invoked but not the document.

Thanks

I am new to Office 2003. I find that when I double click a Word document,

On the other hand, for Excel 2003 and PowerPoint 2003, both application
and
Excel / PowerPoint documents are opened.

Is there any advice ?

Thanks


Try re-registering Word. Click the Start menu, click Run, and enter

winword /r

and click OK.
