I previously had Office 2000 on my computer and recently upgraded to 2007.
When I try to open a Word document (this doesn't happen with other products -
only Word), the system tries to open it in Word 2000 which it can't find.
How can I make it open in Word 2007? I can open it by first opening Word
2007 and then opening the document, but not by just clicking on the document
name. I have tried resetting the default program, pointing to Word 2007 in
the 'open file with program', and regedit (although I didn't find anything to
change there.)

If Office 2000 was uninstalled from your PC, then repairing Office 2007
should fix the file associations.
When you used open file with this program, did you check the 'always open
with this program' dialog?

Thank you. I guess I forgot to uninstall Office 2000. When I did that,
everything worked fine. I appreciate the help.
