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.

  • Why my files will not open in Photoshop?

    Hello

    I have Photoshop CS6 and I use an iMAC. Everything went well until today. I opened it and the toolbar at the top of the page appears, disappears from the side toolbar but when I try to open a file without window opens.

    When I click on my desktop the Finder toolbar at the top of my screen turns off and when I try to click on the Photoshop icon, nothing happens and I can't go back into Photoshop unless I quit the app.

    Please help as I have no idea of what has past

    I can't say, but I'll give you advice.

    First be sure that Photoshop is updated to 13.0.6 or 13.1.2 (CC) by going to help > updates.

    Run disk utility to check your drive and also don't forget to fix the permissions.

    Finally, reset the keyboard preferences:

    Hold down the Cmd - Shift - opt immediately after cold start Photoshop.  If you get the keys to the low enough - quickly and you have to be VERY fast - it prompts you to confirm the removal of your established preferences, which will lead to them all being the default value.

  • Why .indd file will not open ID CC?

    I have the .indd files chapter of a production group. Records of links are in the same folder. I get kind of unsupported, missing plugin file or open a file in the other application when I try to load the files of chapter id. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the reply.

    I use 9.1.0 version of CC which was just downloaded and instralled.

    Bingo! I just ran the script and it is that the file is not an identity document. I downloaded the downloaded files from an ftp site where the Group production. I was using CS4 at the time so I asked for a version of a file that is opened in the earlier version. They did and I open that, also, the script identifies only one correctly.

    My next step is to get new files.

    Thanks for the help.

  • Problems with external hard drive files, Aperture & keep open.

    When I opened (ie the "expand") the folder to an external drive such as a USB key, I want it remains open (expanded). But as soon as I open another folder on the C: drive (ie the root directory), the external drive folder closes its doors (IE 'collapse' s). It's annoying, I have to re - open every time I want to copy a file to it. How can I make such a record remains open until I chose to close it?

    Also, is it possible to make her open folder (ie the "expand") automatically when I plug in an external drive, including a USB Reader/key/paste?

  • After an update to Firefox version 24.0 yesterday I can't open my email using webmail on 1and1. Any ideas why Word. I can open it using a different browser.

    Webmail begins to open and crashes to 70%. He does it with all my email accounts.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • When I try to open JPG files attachments in outlook, he tries to open it in Word and it's gibberish

    Original title: JPG files attached in Windows 8

    I use Windows 8 and when I try to open JPG files in outlook attachments, he tries to open it in Word and it's gibberish.  Also, I tried to save it as a document but with the same results.  Any suggestions?

    You can change the default program that gets used to correct this problem.

    First, save the attachment to a location like your desktop (it will just be temporary).  Then, right-click on the file and choose "Open with", then "choose default program".  In this list, you can collect you Photos app (or photo viewer based on the desktop if you prefer not to use the apps full screen tablet) and it will use who instead of Word in the future.

    Windows Mail wants to open all attachments with Word rather than Word, Adobe, pad etc. How can I get the attachments to open properly?

    Hello

    1. Click the "Start" menu in the bottom left of Windows. Then select "Default programs".
    2. Click on the option "Associate any type of file or Protocol with a program."
    3. Select the file type you want to change the types of files listed. For example, if you want the text (.txt) file to open it in Microsoft Word instead of WordPad, choose '.txt '.
    4. Click on the "Change Program" button in the upper right window.
    5. In the list of programs, select "Microsoft Word". If Microsoft Word does not appear in the list, click on the button 'Browse' in the bottom right and choose Microsoft Word on your computer.
    6. Click on the button 'OK' and then 'close '. The next time you open this type of file, it will open it in Microsoft Word. Repeat this procedure for any other type of file you want to open in Word.

  • WORD DOCUMENT SAVED IN APRIL KEEPS OPENING WHEN I OPEN WORD? How can I GET RID of IT?

    I NEED TO GET RID OF THE DOCUMENT WHICH KEEPS OPENING UPWARD WHEN I OPENED UPWARD THE DOCUMNET WORD DID I SAVE BAD

    Yes, you saved a document as your default template (normal.dot).

    If you have not done any customizations in your normal template, simply delete normal.dot "C:\Documents and Settings\utilisateur\Application Data\Microsoft\Modèles" and Word will create an empty model by default.  You must do it with all instances of closed Word.  "Username" is your Windows login name.

    If you do not see file name extensions in Windows Explorer (i.e., .dot), click on the Tools menu, then Folder Options, then the view tab.  Uncheck the box for "Hide extensions of known file types".

    If you have made any customizations, simply open "C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\normal.dot", delete the text, and save it again.
