Double-Click Opens Template Instead of New Doc
Yesterday I was surprised when I double-clicked on a template in Windows
Explorer and Word opened the .DOT, instead of the new document I expected. I'm running Windows XP and Word 2003, but the same thing happened on a MAC with a template I had created. Any ideas why?

If you right-click on a .dot file, which menu item is in bold--New or Open?
If it's open, then the file association needs to be repaired. The easiest way to do this is to reregister Word. Click Start | Run and type winword /r then press Enter. -- Suzanne S.
