Opening Word Document online

G

Guest

I am having a problem opening Word documents online. My computer for some
reason identifies the .doc file as a WordPerfect 12 document and converts the
Word document into WordPerfect before it will open it. However, if I "save"
rather than "open" the document, and then open the document off line, the
computer will properly identify it as a Word document and open it with Word.
Any clues how to change this? I have already told the computer through the
Windows Explorer to open all .doc files with Word, to no avail.

This is a Word problem which is best answered by the Word
experts in the Microsoft Word newsroup.

This sounds like a browser question.
Adobe Reader has an add-on to open pdf files in the browser window.
WordPerfect must doing the same thing for doc files.

Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet Options, Programs, Manage Add-Ons.
