Default missing icons

Rioght-click on any Word document, choose Open With, choose Word or
browse to Word, choose it, and check the box "Always use this
application to open files with this extension" (or something like
that).

Reinstalling rarely accomplishes anything.

To top it off, I do not have the original disks for the computer to reload
Office. *Any thoughts?
