Association/registration problem with Word and Excel files.
I posted this in a Word group, too, but thought I should also post it
here, just in case. This problem has been afflicting me for the last few days, and while it's not completely debilitating, it's amazingly annoying! Basically: When I double-click on a Word or an Excel document to open it, Word or Excel will start but will NOT display the document itself. Once Word comes up, I can go to File-Open and open the document with no trouble, but it's another, very frustrating step to have to go through. Word and Excel icons (I'm using Office 2003, for the record) both look correct, so everything seems to be associated properly. But when I delete the file type from Folder Options-File Type and then reregister them with the /r or /regserver options in the Run dialog, the problem is still not resolved. That seemed to resolve the problems in most of the other cases I was able to track down in this newsgroup, but not this one, I'm afraid. If anyone knows what to do from here, I'd love to know about it--I'd really like to be able to get this fixed! Thanks. |

You could try this in Excel:
Tools|Options|General tab|Uncheck "Ignore other applications" I don't know enough about MSWord to help.
