Adobe Reader opens when I try to open a .doc file
When I double click on any word 2003 document, I get the following error from
Adobe Reader: Adobe Reader could not open 'name_of_file.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). However, if I right click on any .doc file and Open it with Microsoft Word, the document opens just fine. I can live with it, but its getting annoying. Thanks for all your help. |

Adobe Reader opens when I try to open a .doc file
It appears you have the windows file association for DOC set to Adobe
Reader. Right click a doc in Windows Explorer, choose Open With and select Winword from the list. Check the box to always open with this application. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org goplayoutside wrote: When I double click on any word 2003 document, I get the following error from Adobe Reader: Adobe Reader could not open 'name_of_file.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

Adobe Reader opens when I try to open a .doc file
I have a similar problem when I try to open .doc files with Word 2007 (newly
installed). I tried to set the default file type association to WinWord 2007, but it never comes up in the list. And when I Browse to find it in "My Computer" I can never find it, because Office 2007 didn't install in Program Files like everything else normally does. As below, I can live with it, but it's really annoying. Thanks. "Graham Mayor" wrote: It appears you have the windows file association for DOC set to Adobe Reader.

Adobe Reader opens when I try to open a .doc file
By default Word 2007 is winword.exe and installed in the folder
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 If you have chosen to install it anywhere else, then substitute the location when you browse for the application. If you can't remember where you installed it search the hard drive for winword.exe and make a note of the folder.
