How do I restore word documents that converted back to 2003
Word2007 has no trouble opening Word2003 documents. Maybe you're
saying that when you double-click on a document's name, Word doesn't open? If that's the case, right-click on a document and choose "Open With," choose WinWord, and check the box for "Always open this type of document with this application" (or words to that effect).

How do I restore word documents that converted back to 2003
It seems as if something has happened to the file associations in Word. I'm
guessing you can still open the documents if you start Word first and use the Open dialog box? You can run Word 2007 with the /r switch to restore file associations. Also, if you are running Word 2007 and Word 2003 on the same machine, see the "Hacking the Registry" section of the article at http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "larryawc" wrote in message ...
