I want to click on .doc files and have them open w/2007, not MS Works.
Have tried to do this by following the procedure of going to set default programs where I get a dialog box w/graphics showing the program,eg works, photoshop, etc.
I click the little "+" sign to expand it and chose "browse" , since Word isint there.
I go to C:\office12\winword.exe which is the correct executable
Nothing happens. Winword.exe never sticks in the dialog box or as the default program
This is vexing me for months and I've ignored it, but am sick of opening everything w/cr_ppy works, saving and then opening w/Word, or saving file, opening word and then hunting around for file.
Pls advise.
thank you
