Word missing from "Open With" Dialog and cannot be added
Following a "complete install" upgrade from Office XP to Office 2003 Pro
MS Word no longer appears in the "Open With" dialog that you use to select a program to open a file when no association exists. Even if you browse for the winword.exe file itself it will not allow it to be added to the list and will not open Word. You can find the winword.exe file and select it but doing so simply returns you to the Open With dialog box and nothing happens. Nothing I have tried will work. Some systems we have migrated do not suffer from this but many others do. No idea what makes it happen to some and not to others. REALLY need to solve this. Thanks! |
