TRY AGAIN - MY DOCUMENTS/WORD 2002 WON'T OPEN-SHOWS PHOTO EDITOR

[Ruthjoan]

FL senior has many word files accumulated over the years. Suddenly MY
DOCUMENTS folder will open but can't open files as am in MICROSOFT PHOTO
EDITOR.

Please someone tell me what to do.....

No need to try again. You must realize that it may take more than ONE
MINUTE for someone to answer your question. Have a bit of patience.

Your Windows file association for .doc files has somehow been changed to
open in Photo Editor instead of Word. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ReRegisterWord.htm . If that
doesn't fix the problem, then see
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307859 "How to change file
associations in Windows XP".

GARFIELD -
You know I've never been here before and thought first one didn't go online.
But now I have written you on that message with gratitude that I can again
see years of private records. Thank you...thank you.
