Opening Excel from Icons

[Charlesap]

When I double click a Word Document icon, word opens and the document opens.
However, when I double click an excel workbook icon, only excel progam opens.
The workbook itself does not open. Can this be corrected?

version of Excel?

2003, but I found the answer. I needed to uncheck the "ignore other
applications" block in the "General" tab of "Tools - Options" drop down menu.

Thanks for your help anyway.
