From: Mel on 28 Feb 2010 18:20 We have a new computer which did not come with Office. We bought Office and installed it. When using Word, and trying to access a wordperfect doc it trys to open Works. When I try to change the default to Word, Word does not appear in the list of default programs. How do I add Word and the other Office products to the list of default programs? -- Mel
From: Peter T. Daniels on 28 Feb 2010 19:02 The specifics probably depend on your version of Windows, but whenever you're looking for a program to do something-or-other, there should be a "Browse" button, which will open up your entire file structure so that you can navigate to WinWord.

From: vttotal on 1 Mar 2010 13:29 Hi, this is very simple to do. Assuming that you have Windows Vista or 7 this is what you must do: Open up any folder that contains a document you wish to load with Word. Right click on that file and select "Open With" and click on " Choose Default Program." You can browse for a list of programs and choose Word in there. If that option does not show up when you right click on your document there is a second way. Right click on the document and click on "Properties." A new windows with the file properties should appear, click on "Change" and that will show another window which will enable you to choose a default program. Hope this information helps you. Please let me know to see how it went. Vicente Tulliano "Mel" wrote: > We have a new computer which did not come with Office. We bought Office and > installed it.

From: Mancunian_Nick on 4 Mar 2010 13:31 Hello Vicente I have this self-same problem - using Win7 and Office7. I have tried BOTH of the things you suggest to setup default for .doc files to Word 7 but all that has happened is that they now try to open with Adobe Reader 9.1 and won't display. I can open them fine if I open Word first then use open but double clicking a .doc file tries Reader 9.1 again! I have tried browsing because Word/Office don't appear, for some strange reason, in recommended programs *or* other programs and even browsing and selecting the winword exe doesn't work! So before I tear my hair out, can you advise what the problem may be please? Thank you, Nick. "vttotal" wrote: > Hi, this is very simple to do.
