Making Word my default when opening online documents
Using Word 2007 on Windows Vista Home Premium
I think that you want to change the association ( Start Default Programs Associate a file type or protocol with a program. ) of: .doc (DOC File) from: Microsoft Works Word Processor to: Microsoft Office Word at: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE "lprogen" wrote: Please help!!

Making Word my default when opening online documents
Hi Mecalith, I tried following your instruction but there's no WINWORD.EXE,
its only shows WINWORD. And when I tried changing it to WINWORD and open up a word doc as an email attachmetn it gives me an error message "that the file does not have a program associated with it when performing this action". I install Office 2007. Hope you can help me.
