How do I make MS Word my default program to open attached email fi
Word used to be my default program for opening email attached text or even
Word files. I must have changed the default somehow because now Notebook is the default application, even when i have a Word attached file. How do I change it back so that Word opens the attached file when i click on it? I use Outlook Express for my email application. Thanks... |

How do I make MS Word my default program to open attached emai
Graham,
I followed the link you provided and followed the instructions -- I even rebooted. But when I go to open an attached Word document that my colleague has attached to his email, my computer still uses Notepad to open it. In order for me to use Word I have to transfer the document to a folder then go through Word to open it. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

In Windows Explorer, right click on a Word document (*.doc) and select Open
With and then Choose Program and select Microsoft Word from the list of available programs and check the box for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file." -- Hope this helps.
