Cannot open Word file by double clicking doc file in Explore
When I double click a Word doc in Explore, the Word program will startup and
hang. The document I clicked on will not display. If I open Word and then open the doc file all works correctly. Until very recently I was able to double click a doc file in Explore and the file would come up. I have done an Office 2003 repair and also under the Run command did the winword.exe /unregserver followed by winword.exe /regserver. None of these corrected the problem. Please advise. Hopefully, I do not need to uninstall and reinstall Office 2003. Thank you for your assistance. -- joseph1 |

Cannot open Word file by double clicking doc file in Explore
Have you tried to re-register Word (to restore file assocations)? To do
this, click Start | Run, type winword /r and press Enter. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "dohn" wrote in message ...
