dell with vista & office professional edition 2003
Hi,
I am having a big problem. I just installed Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 on my new Dell Inspiron 1501 pre loaded with Vista and I am unable to associate a file type to open up with winword. I cannot get the icon to go into recommended programs or other programs. I need big time help. I had my MSI guy look at this & he was unable to do anything. We did a Microsoft update and it still does not work. We tried to drag the icon to the open with file & it still did not work. |

Specifically what happens when you try to associate a .doc file with Word?

Have you completed the Activation process since installing Office?

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE...
IF YOU SEND ME A .DOC ATTACHMENT TO MY E-MAIL - THE DEFAULT IS SET FOR WORDPAD & IT OPENS IN WORDPAD (GIBBERISH STUFF). THE ONLY WAY I CAN OPEN IT IS TO SAVE IT TO MY DOCUMENTS AND GO & OPEN MSWORD 2003 AND LOOK FOR THE DOCUMENT. ALSO, ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS IF I HAD A DOCUMENT IN MSWORD AND SAVE IT TO MY DESKTOP IT IS SAVED AS A WORDPAD DOC.

First - Please lower your caps. You're making it very difficult to read your
responses. Plus caps are considered yelling. You said you and your MSI person tried to change your file associations.

Default programs
If I open set your default programs, on the left is a list of programs and Office 2003 is not there. If I use associate a file type, I select an extension .doc (it is showing current default as Word Pad). I select change program. It is not showing in my recommended or other programs. I select browse and scroll to Microsoft Office and open it. Go to the Office11 folder. Scroll to winword select open get back to open with file and it is not in recommended or browse.

Hi,
I just tried this fix in Vista. Repeat for file types DOCHTML, DOCMHTML, DOT. DOTHTML had no file extension - I am unable to get a Microsoft Office Word extension. From Word Help (modified): 1.. In My Computer or Windows Explorer, click the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then click the File Types tab (Wait...). 2.. In the Registered file types list, click the file type "DOC", and then click Change. 3.. In the Open With dialog box, select "Microsoft Word", and then click OK. 4.. Repeat for file types DOCHTML, DOCMHTML, DOT and DOTHTML. 5.. Click OK in the Folder Options dialog box.
