I see where I am supposed to be able to make Winword the default program to open .doc files. In Control Panel => Default Programs => Associate a file type or protocols with a program
I am able to browse for my default program (Office 97 Winword), but when I select it, it does not show up in the list to associate with the file type.
I can run Winword directly and then open up .doc files with the open file browser, but I am not able to double click on a document icon and have Winword open the doc. This appears to be an inconvenience that Microsoft has purposely done to encourage us all to upgrade to the new Office software.
I was successful in getting Excel to associate, but I have no success with either Winword nor with Powerpoint from the Office97 suite.
