Im am running MW2002
Just recently it is opening saved documents like a web page with nothing
else, and if I try to print from Windows Explorer/ Right Click / Print I am
getting this error:
Ambiguous name detected: TmpDDE
Please any help?


Thanks in advance for your help....Bob Vance

went through that but didn't work, just seems to open as a web page?

It would appear that the shortcut used to start Word is incorrect. FWIW, on
my machine the path given in Tools | Folder Options | File Types: Advanced:
Open | Edit: Application used to perform action: is "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\WINWORD.EXE" /n /dde.

"Use DDE" is checked, and the "DDE Message" is [REM
_DDE_Direct][FileOpen("%1")]

I'm thinking perhaps somehow IE has asserted itself as the default app to
open Word docs? You could try reregistering Word; see
