Word docs open in 2007 instead of 2010.
I have Office 2010 on my laptop and PC. I also need to retain Office 2007
for instructional purposes. When I double click any type of Word file on the laptop it opens in 2010 - great, that's what I want. However, double click the same on the PC and it opens and starts to instal 2007 - don't want that. I have used 'Open with...' the default shows the 2010 icon but the PC still wants to start up 2007. I can open files in 2010 but only after having first started 2010 from the programs menu. Any ideas? John -- John Whyte |

Both versions share some resources. You therefore need to ensure that both
versions do not re-configure to grab those resources when started, then associate the documents with which Word version you require as default.. See http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm with reference to the registry entries (Word 2010 is Word 14.0) and see http://www.gmayor.com/Document_Not_Found.htm which shows how to associate the documents manually - again substituting Office14 as appropriate.. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "JohnW" wrote in message ...
