On my new Windows XP computer:

A new Word 97 document opened via the start menu works fine;

A new Word 97 document opened via Windows Explorer works fine;

But a new Word 97 document opened by right clicking and selecting --
"New" -- Word document has two problems:

* The font size is wrong; and

* Word wants to save the file as a .txt document

I have a relatively simple work-around, basically correcting the font
size, completing the document, and then declining to save the file as a
..txt document (in which case I am offered the opportunity to save it as
a Word document).

Nevertheless, is there a ultility or other way to replace the "wrong"
Word offering on the context menu with the "correct" Word (preferably
without digging into the registry)?
