What program launches when you double click left

Is it possible that you simply need to edit the file

To change the file association right click on one of the

  • HP Officejet J4680 series: all-in-one HP Officejet J4680 series will not print Word documents

    My HP Officejet J4680 all-in-one ink jet printer will not print in Word 2010 documents. It will print .pdf and Excel 2010 documents. I ran printing HP and doctor Scan and check it and put to date and said all is fine. Just around checking on my computer it said in the devices that the printer is ok. I printed the test from the doctor of Hp Plug and it came out ok. Seems so that Word documents are the only problem. I installed Windows 10 earlier so not totally sure that's the problem I don't remember if I used the word since installation up to now.

    I bought this printer in 2010 and have had no problems with it and I can tell you that I have printed a large NUMBER of pages.

    Any ideas how to get this printer working?

    Thank you!

  • Find Word documents hidden in Windows 7

    My Word documents are appearing in recent Documents, but they are not in the document library. Also, when I try to search all files on computer .docx, nothing comes back. However, if I open Word, I can see the documents in my list of shortcuts. How can I recover my Word documents? Note: I recently had to restore to an earlier point. I read that this would not affect my documents, however.

  • Creating links in Word documents converted

    I converted a Word docx document to HTML which consists of a set of documents that are linked together.

    Accordingly, each section in the doc full (except the title and Table of contents), actually becomes a JPG editable text box.

    I tried to create links between the Table of contents for the different sections.

    I tried everything but I'm missing some concept.  It's one of those things, I just see it once I will hit me more head FRO not fiquring out.

    Someone has an answer for me

    I hate to burst your bubble, but Word documents are not suitable for web pages.  My advice is your docx to PDF.

    Of course, it's an option as well. You can attach files to the main PDF file, or you can merge all files into a single PDF portfolio.

  • THE ADOBE DOCUMENTS ARE TRYING TO OPEN AS WORD DOCUMENT

    I have Adobe X installed on my computer, but when I try to open the .pdf documents, he tries to open it as a Word document and then request a file converter and gives me options in Japanese and Chinese, etc, and the document does not open.  I think I caused the problem when I installed a soda a few days ago Adobe program because he said that he translated .jpeg files in PDF format.  When I was getting so problems to open pdf documents, I uninstalled the program of soda, and then all of my pdf files on my computer disappeared.  I then uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe X and still have the same problem.  I ran the Adobe fix the program, but still does not.  Help!

    I'm not sure what you mean by a program of Adobe of soda, but looks like you have messed up your file associations.

    Find a file you know is a PDF file, click on it once to select it, right click and go to open with > choose default program. Choose Adobe Reader and click on the box that says "use the selected program to open this type of file.

    These are the instructions for Windows Vista. XP is very close to the same thing. Mac OS is different so let us know if that's what you use.

    Thank you

    Hi rusja,

    The attached VI could work to update a specific cell in a Word document - once you have opened the document and obtained the reference to the table.  To do this you use Active X of the Word interface, so you will need Word installed where this application is running.

    There are a lot of Active X posts on this forum (especially on the closing of the references!) and many re: Word, there are also some links in the attached VI.

    Note: Word exposes its functionality to other applications via Active X, and any language with tools Active X (such as LabVIEW) can use the word.  This means that there is a huge amount of ActiveX/Word experience/help/examples on the web, that applies to your use of the word through LabVIEW.

    Have fun!

    See you soon.

  • Folder of documents completely empty after emptying the Recycle Bin. Running Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.

    I uploaded several photos from a third party site yesterday. In this process, I make several files which I then recycle once the download is complete. Because I'm uploading about 6 months worth of photos, I decided it would be best to empty the trash when I finished and did. Today, I went to access a Word document, and ALL my files are missing from the Documents folder - it is completely empty. When I try to look for one of the files that I know was in the file, I get a message that says "the point _ that this shortcut refers has been changed or moved, and this shortcut no longer works correctly. You really want to remove this shortcut? "In the research forums, I've seen where this can happen after a trojan/virus. I met said before virus on my laptop, so I know what it looks like at and. I have experienced this on my desk that I currently have the problem with. I ran a full scan, just to be on the right side and found nothing. Any suggestions?

    Protection system had to be turned on in order to 'restore' .  Directions to do are in the link I listed above about the subject.

    Have you tried to uninstall the software with that allows you to export documents?  See if the documents are restored on uninstall.

    In the settings of your third-party software that you see a setting that says keep copy file on the drive even after deleting? If so, you have a copy of the file on the raw disk. See this

    How to recover a Microsoft Word document depends on how the document was lost in the first place. If the document exists but is damaged or cannot be opened in Microsoft Word, then you need to fix it. If it has been lost or deleted then you need to get it back.

    Recommended software

    • If the document exists but is damaged or will not open, try WordFIX.
    • If the document is lost or deleted, try Word Recovery.
