I want to change my computer settings that Microsoft word is the program of preferred instead of microsoft Works word processor.

Whenever I try to open a document, the computer tries to use the works and some times it will not open the document.  How can I change the settings so that I don't have to use the works at all. It is subpar.

Hi windywillia60,

Change the default settings for the program, please visit the links below: change which programs Windows uses by default:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default

Change default programs using Set Program Access and computer defaults:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-default-programs-using-Set-Program-Access-and-Computer-Defaults
