Word 2007 Will not Update "Set Associations" to open doc. and docx
just installed office 2007. Previosly had 2003.. I went into "set
associations" to update the program used to open "Doc" and "docx" however it would not update. I go into browse and select the following path: Path: programfiles/microsoft office/office12/winword and I hit open. The "set associations" window did not update for this application.. It appears it does not like "winword"; however, this is the only word application that I can see in the office 12 folder. I cannot find a "winword.exe application. In addition when I try to open a newly created office document it cannot find a program to open and I go through the same "browse" procedure and nothing is updated. How can I get Microsoft word 2007 into "set Associations " as the default program to open .doc and docx Have I not selected the correct program... I now have all my .doc files which I cannot open. |

Go into Windows Explorer then Tools Folder Options File Types, find .doc and press Change - then find winword.exe. If you can't find winword do a search (r-click) on "c:\Program Files".

Paul www.awgarstone.co.uk I use vista... when you open tools you can select folder options....but there is only a general,view and search option. There is no "file types" button. Also, the problem I am having is that I find "winword" within the office folder but not "winword.exe"... although when I check the properties of "winword" it shows it as a exe file. |
