.doc files display wrong icon

[Guest]

I am currently using Office 2007 Beta 2. .doc files are given the type name
Microsoft Office 97 - 2003 Document. However, instead of displaying the
proper icon of a word document with 2003 across the bottom, these files
display an icon of a notepad with an image in the top left corner, lines
throughout the center, and a large red A in the bottome right corner.

This is a minor annoyance, but I would like to know if there are any
possibilities to fix it. I have checked the File Types tab in the Folder
Options, and .doc is associated with Microsoft Office Word. I have used the
Advanced Settings Option in File Types to ensure that the proper Icon is
selected for .doc files. I have even used the Rebuild Icons option in Tweak
UI, but that didn't help either.

Is there anything else I can try to correct this error?

The file association data has the wrong icon. You fix this via folder
options in the control panel or windows explorer. Consult Help & Support
for instructions.

I have already tried to correct the icon via Folder Options. Once I access
Folder Options, I can do the following:
- Go to the File Types tab
- find .doc
- select the "Advanced" button
- select the "Change Icon" button
- select the correct icon

After these steps, the "Edit File Type" dialogue, which displays when I
select Advanced for the .doc file type, displays the correct icon. However,
the Folder Options dialogue's list of file types still displays the wrong
icon, as do all explorer windows with .doc files.

Anything else?

I uninstalled and reinstalled the Office Suite, and now this problem is
corrected.
