*.doc files from xp

[John2001]

I have made multiple attempts to associate my transfered XP *.doc files to
winword but it doesn't work.

I have tried both from the Vista file window and start program 'deafault
program' settings window. The result is either...

1. Winword appears in the program selection window and once selected not in
the 'associate program to file' window or ...

2. Wordconverter or Microsoft Office Word don't work

Any help will be very much appreciated

The Word Help menu should show a 'repair' option. if not, the "Programs and
features" app in control panel will do it.

If repairing Word does not help, check this tool:
