Weird Opening Document
Thanks for the info.

While I agree with Doug about not opening e-mail attachments directly,
have you made the registry changes that would allow Word 2003 and 2007 to
peacefully co-exist? If not Word 2003 will grab back its file
associations. The two versions will be in constant conflict. See

But I have opened other .doc email attachments that do not launch Word
2003.

My guess: Because the file extension was .doc and the default file
format in Word 2007 is .docx

Using Windows XP and Office 2007
I just received a Word 2003 document as an email attachment. When I
opened the attachment, it launched Word 2003 on my system. Although
Office 2003 still resides on my system, I am using Office 2007. I
have received 2003 Word documents as email attachments before, and when
I open the attachment it always launches Word 2007.
Any idea what would cause an email attachment to launch Word 2003 this
time???
