Opening files
Since I've upgraded to Office 2007, I'm unable to double click on text files
to open them with Excel. Excel is set as the default program (although it wasn't on the list of possibilites to select as the default). I looked at the Excel setup and made sure that "Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) was unchecked, but don't know what else could be wrong. I think it must be in the Excel setup somewhere, as I was always able to do this with Office 2003. |

Hello,
if you right click on a text file and choose "Open With". Have you ticked the tick box for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" -- Kevin Smith :o) "Sandy5590" wrote: Since I've upgraded to Office 2007, I'm unable to double click on text files to open them with Excel.

Yes, although as I said, Excel wasn't listed in the programs you could select
from, I found it in my programs and chose it as the program to open text files with. I checked the box that says "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file". I've also check the properties of a text file on my desktop and it says Excel is the default program used to open it. I also went to the control panel under "Default Programs" and Excel is set as the default program to open .text and .txt files there. But when you double-click on the file, it doesn't open, nor does Excel. "Kevin Smith" wrote: Hello, if you right click on a text file and choose "Open With".
