Problem: double clicking a doc opens Word, but not the doc !!
The same is NOT true of Excel; when I double click an xls file, it opens in
Excel, but when I go to My Documents and double click on a doc file, Word opens without that document. Weird. Anyone ever seen this? |

I also wanted to ensure all understand that Wood 2007 will open a file if you
open Word first. If you double click Woood lanches, but does not open the desired file, you have to minimize Wood and double click again, then the file will load slowly.

OS: Windows XP SP2 App: Office 2203 SP2 I am having the same problem with XLS & DOC files not opening when 'Double Clicked'. In Excel check that ToolsOptionsGeneral 'Ignore other Applications' is NOT checked. Please let me know if you have discovered a solution.

Yes, but also in Word. It's seems to be related to Excelius and Crystal Reports
I found out the excel fix, but don't know how to fix WORD in a similar manner.

Tonight I believe I found one solution. If you have " Windows Live" installed and you don't need it, uninstall it. I have not tried to look for a workaround but as soon as I uninstalled it the files opened every time by double clicking. Perhaps one of you can find the workaround so that both can be done. Let me know how it worked for you.
