It would appear that Works is still associated with the .doc file type. Try
reregistering Word by going to Start | Run, typing winword.exe /r and pressing Enter (note that there is a space before the forward slash. Or see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ReRegisterWord.htm. This will change the file association for .doc and .dot files from Works to Word. Also, if you open Word first, you should be able to open Word documents from its File Open dialog. -- Suzanne S.

I tried both your last suggestions about re-registering Word, via winword,
and going to the web-site. Works still opens when I try to open a .doc file. Can I still have Works on the computer AND Word? ANy other ideas?
