Opening a file in Word from file icon
I can't open a Word file by going to the file saved on my computer. I can
only open it if I first go to Wrod and do the File, Open, then locate the file and open it. This is not a good deal - since I recieve a lot of files by email that just need to look at and not save. But because of this problem, I can't do that. |

Opening a file in Word from file icon
Hi ?B?UFctVEFNVQ==?=,
I can't open a Word file by going to the file saved on my computer. I can only open it if I first go to Wrod and do the File, Open, then locate the file and open it. This is not a good deal - since I recieve a lot of files by email that just need to look at and not save. But because of this problem, I can't do that. What happens when you try to do that? And which version of Word and Windows are you using.

Opening a file in Word from file icon
I just recently updated to Office 2007 and am using Windows XP. I did try
the fix for an install error which did make fix it so that when I can double click on an icon it actually opens the Word program, but the document does not load.

Opening a file in Word from file icon
Hi ?B?UFctVEFNVQ==?=,
I just recently updated to Office 2007 and am using Windows XP. I did try the fix for an install error which did make fix it so that when I can double click on an icon it actually opens the Word program, but the document does not load. If you right-click such a document in the Windows Explorer, then choose "Open with" (if you don't see this, press ESC to close the menu, then hold Shift when you right-click), you'll get a list of programs that can open this document type. I assume Word is in the list? And does opening the document in this manner give you the same result? If you use the Windows START/Run command, and type: winword.exe /r then run it, this should re-register Word (the program won't actually start). If you try after doing this, do you still see the same? If you're still having problems, boot Windows in SAFE MODE, then try double-clicking to open a document. Is the behavior any different? I can't open a Word file by going to the file saved on my computer. I can only open it if I first go to Wrod and do the File, Open, then locate the file and open it. This is not a good deal - since I recieve a lot of files by email that just need to look at and not save. But because of this problem, I can't do that. What happens when you try to do that? And which version of Word and Windows are you using.
