I have just installed MS Word 2010 beta. Unfortunately, existing word
documents created in MS Word 2002 are not immediately recognised by MS 2010.
If I first open 2010 and go to file loaction the docs will open fine. However
, if i double click on a pre-existing word doc it does not know what
programme to use to open it.

I have tried finding the winword file to open it but get this message...
".doc is not a valid Win32 application"

Is there anyway to solve this issue as it is really inconvenient to have to
open Word 2010 each time and manually find the location of the file to open
it.

Many thanks
Dan
