• Why word file attachments keep open in wordpad

  It is a new computer with windows 7 and microsoft office already installed, when I open a word file, sometimes it opens in wordpad, why do that?

  Hello

  Make a right click any word (with extension .doc or .docx) file and let the mouse on 'Open with', click on choose a default program..., highlight the word and check the box always 'using the program selected... '. "and then click OK.

  Repeat for the other extensions, i.e. If you have found a .doc first rehearsal for a .docx or vice versa.

  BTW, you posted in a forum of Windows XP. Your question is really more suited for Windows 7 forum or a forum of office. You can change this by editing your original question and by selecting the appropriate drop down lists entries.
