Opening exsisting document opens document with new name
I have an EU on Word97. When they open a word document from explorer, it
opens the document with a new DOCUMENT# (ie...DOCUMENT1, DOCUMENT2) and not the original file name. When they open the file from within Word when its running, the file opens with the correct name. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!! |

Opening exsisting document opens document with new name
The default action in the Windows file association for .doc files
is probably set to "new" instead of "open". Try re-registering Word as described at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErr...gisterWord.htm . Don Dargel wrote: I have an EU on Word97.

Opening exsisting document opens document with new name
THANK YOU FOR THE REPLY....CLOSE....SO CLOSE.... This is an existing file
created by another Word97 user. The file opens correctly, with the correct file name, when Word97 is already running. When you chose the file from within explorer...it opens with the Document#....as if it were a new document. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!

Opening exsisting document opens document with new name
The solution is still the same; the file action for .doc in the Registry has
been changed from Open to New. You must reregister Word as instructed. -- Suzanne S.

Opening exsisting document opens document with new name
Whatever registry changes what the re-register was supposed to have made did
not work. Does anyone know what specific registry setting(s) we should look for? Deskside support indicated that they uninstalled Word and reinstalled but I think these registry settings are still hanging around..... THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Suzanne S.

Opening exsisting document opens document with new name
What reregistering does is reestablish Word's ownership of the .doc and .dot
file types and determine the appropriate actions for them. In Windows Explorer, right-click on a .doc file. Which action is boldfaced? If it is New rather than Open, then this is the problem. Your IT department surely knows how to correct this. -- Suzanne S.
