default programs
Hello Vicente
I have this self-same problem - using Win7 and Office7. I have tried BOTH of the things you suggest to setup default for .doc files to Word 7 but all that has happened is that they now try to open with Adobe Reader 9.1 and won't display. I can open them fine if I open Word first then use open but double clicking a .doc file tries Reader 9.1 again! I have tried browsing because Word/Office don't appear, for some strange reason, in recommended programs *or* other programs and even browsing and selecting the winword exe doesn't work! So before I tear my hair out, can you advise what the problem may be please? Thank you, Nick. "vttotal" wrote: Hi, this is very simple to do. Assuming that you have Windows Vista or 7 this is what you must do: Open up any folder that contains a document you wish to load with Word. Right click on that file and select "Open With" and click on " Choose Default Program." You can browse for a list of programs and choose Word in there. If that option does not show up when you right click on your document there is a second way. Right click on the document and click on "Properties." A new windows with the file properties should appear, click on "Change" and that will show another window which will enable you to choose a default program. Hope this information helps you. Please let me know to see how it went. Vicente Tulliano |
