Default 2-Clicks Will NOT Open Word

The title says pretty much all of it. I double-click on any Word file and
some kind of 'shell' opens; all controls are grayed-out and there is no white
sheet to type on. If I click and drag the file to this shell, I see a small
plus-sign, so I release the mouse button and the file opens. There is
something definitely wrong here, but not sure what. I recently installed
Office 2007 and all other apps open just fine on a double-click event.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?


Thanks!

Have you tried repairing the Word installation (click Office button | Word
Options; in the Resources category, click the Diagnose button)?
