File Association in Office 2007
Hi,
I am using Office 2007 Beta and also have Office 2003 on my computer. I am trying to change the file association to 2007. In WE on file types there is no listing for the 2007 beta program. There is a listing for Word but only 2003. I am unable to locate the 2007 programs to change the association. Can you advise. Thank you |

File Association in Office 2007
You can go to Start/Run, click the Browse button and navigate to the
Office 2007 installation files and location Winword.exe. Then back on the Run command, add a space after the path and /r. It would look something like: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12\WINWORD.EXE" /r In the past this using to re-register only Word but now it appears to recreate all of the Office 2007 registry entries including the file associations. BUT, the next time you start an Office 2003 application it will take ownership of the file associations again. Although, I cancel Windows Installer to prevent it from happening.

File Association in Office 2007
BUT, the next time you start an Office 2003 application it will take
ownership of the file associations again. Although, I cancel Windows Installer to prevent it from happening. This only applies to Word 2003. Excel and PPT 2003 won't take ownership back. Microsoft has acknowledged this as a bug in 2007 already. Patrick Schmid -------------- http://pschmid.net Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
