Can't set 'Open With' to Word 2007
Although I can access earlier versions of Word docs by opening Word 2007 and
then opening the document, when I double-click on an earlier document for example on the desktop I can't set 'Open With' to Word 2007. I browse to where I think Word is, ie. Program Files / Microsoft Office / Office12 / Winword.exe but when I click OK it doesn't 'save' that location as the default Open With. Have tried checking the 'always use' box. Any ideas? Thanks |

Can't set 'Open With' to Word 2007
Hi ?B?TmljaG9sYXMgSg==?=,
Although I can access earlier versions of Word docs by opening Word 2007 and then opening the document, when I double-click on an earlier document for example on the desktop I can't set 'Open With' to Word 2007. I browse to where I think Word is, ie. Program Files / Microsoft Office / Office12 / Winword.exe but when I click OK it doesn't 'save' that location as the default Open With. Have tried checking the 'always use' box. Hmmm. No problems here; it's actually part of the installation default. Have you installed 2007 in parallel with another version? Over another version (replacing it)? On a clean Windows installation? (Note that you should probably take this question, with the additional information, to the office.setup newsgroup, as you're more likely to encounter specialists there) Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |

Can't set 'Open With' to Word 2007
Installed on new machine with Vista. Installed Office 2000 then uninstalled
before installing 2007. I;ll try the newsgroup as you suggest.
