Im am running MW2002
Just recently it is opening saved documents like a web page with nothing
else, and if I try to print from Windows Explorer/ Right Click / Print I am
getting this error:
Ambiguous name detected: TmpDDE
Please any help?


Thanks in advance for your help....Bob Vance
 
It would appear that the shortcut used to start Word is incorrect. FWIW, on
my machine the path given in Tools | Folder Options | File Types: Advanced:
Open | Edit: Application used to perform action: is "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\WINWORD.EXE" /n /dde.

"Use DDE" is checked, and the "DDE Message" is [REM
_DDE_Direct][FileOpen("%1")]

I'm thinking perhaps somehow IE has asserted itself as the default app to
open Word docs? You could try reregistering Word; see
