Cannot select Word as default program for doc files.
For reasons unknown to me I can't seem to set Word as the default program to
open my doc files. I have Windows Vista and put on Office 2000 and then subsequently found my Office 2003. Excel works fine and has automatically switched over but Word has not. Word doesn't come on the other programs list and when I browse for it and select it manually, nothing happens. I can open documents fine via opening Word and selecting open but this is annoying. Any help would be appreciated Cheers |

Did you right-click on the name of any .doc file, go to Open with ...,
select Word, and then check the checkbox that says "Open all files of this type with this application"?

Did you solve your problem . If I have an Work attachment sent to me in an
e-mail, when I try to open it, I get an error message that Works can not open and the file may be corrupt. In researching, I was told to set may "default program" which I have done. But still nothing works..do you have any ideas? "Steve" wrote: For reasons unknown to me I can't seem to set Word as the default program to open my doc files.

Save it to your hard drive first and see if it does any better.
