i can't open .doc files with microsoft office word 2007

my winword 2007 can't open .doc files by usual way. other programs can open
but word 2007 not. if I open .doc files I should open word 2007 then click
open menu then open my .doc file. this problem there for .doc files not for
..docx,.txt & any files. only .doc. plz, guide me.

If repairing Word installation does not help, try:

Registering programs with the "Open With" dialog:

Winword.exe is located at:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE

I'm having a similar problem. When I click on a .doc or .docx file on
the desktop or in my documents and I browse to WINWORD to open the file,
it jumps back to select a file-type and doesn't show word in the file
list. I can open these files if I first open word and use the folder
icon to navigate to the file.
Any thoughts?

Thank you!

That worked (and it was super easy!).

WTF are you talking about?

The subject describes the OP's problem. The problem fix was correctly
described in another post the same day (THREE MONTHS AGO).

Then along come you with that gibberish.
