Windows Vista: Word installed, doc-file still opened in Notepad

Word installed, doc-file still opened in Notepad

by MrVulcan - 4/10/09 12:09 PM

Hi everyone,

A Windows Vista computer has Office 2007 installed. Word documents open in Word, just like they should. However, if the user receives a Word document as an attachment, and tries to view it directly (as opposed to saving it first), then Windows opens this file in Notepad.

I've tried reinstalling Office, but no joy.

Can someone please tell me how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Bert

I tried this both with Windows Mail and Outlook 2007. The result was the same, so, the e-mail client doesn't seem to be the cause of this problem.
