Right-click on a Word document, choose "Open with," select "Browse,"
be sure the box for "Always use this program to open this kind of file" (or something like that) is checked, and choose Word. On Mar 20, 1:09*am, Mike wrote: Hi My word .docx file is opened by winrar. How to fix it? OS is Win 7. Thanks in advance. Mike |

Peter has told you one approach; for others, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ReRegisterWord.htm or http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...ses-by-default or http://www.gmayor.com/Document_Not_Found.htm. But note that the reason WinRar is opening the file is that .docx is actually a .zip format, and WinRar evidently recognizes this. If you change the extension to .zip, you can extract the file's components, including the raw XML. -- Suzanne S.

When I right click on that file, it doesn't show "Open with". The same problem happens on Excel (.xlsx) file. |

Generally speaking, you shouldn't be opening something in Word before
downloading it. In case you do some editing, you won't be able to save the changes. On Mar 20, 8:40*pm, Mike wrote: On Tuesday, March 20, 2012 7:49:26 PM UTC+8, Peter T.
