I haven't installed it to check, but as it did so previously I would have
expected it to retain that compatibility - and as the file association has
obviously been screwed up, this is as likely an explanation as any

Word Perfect and Word would fight for control of the DOC file
association hence the lost file association when you uninstalled.
Repair Office from the Word Help menu.

OK, thanks. I've had this notebook and Word/PowerPoint for about
three months. The only recent odd thing was that I uninstalled the
trial version of WordPerfect, and since then the Windows Installer
tool keeps popping up. Don't know if that would affect my other
applications. Thanks again!
