I ran Windows Installer Utility Cleanup to get rid of a re-occuring
DocumentViewer.MSI error message. Now all Office files are no longer associated with the appropriate icon. When I select a file that was previously a Word document, it does not open. If I go to the Winword.exe file and run Word I can open the document. If I start a new document and save it, it also does not appear with the Word Icon and cannot be opened without first running Winword and going to the file. To top it off, I do not have the original disks for the computer to reload Office. Any thoughts? |

Rioght-click on any Word document, choose Open With, choose Word or
browse to Word, choose it, and check the box "Always use this application to open files with this extension" (or something like that). Reinstalling rarely accomplishes anything.

Who knows what else the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility removed for Office. :-( If during Office setup a Local Install Source (MOSCache) was created then you should be able to repair your Office installation. If not, then the Office installation CD may be required. I noted you said you no longer have it so hopefully the suggestion 'grammatim' provided will be all you need to do. I'm not trying to worry you, but a potential corrupt installation is something you may want to keep in mind should you encounter other Office issues. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx |
