Cannot open an attached Microsoft Office Word 2003 .doc file from
Windows mail. A message appears telling me that I need to make an
association between the .doc file and Microsoft Office Word 2003.
However......
If I save the .doc file to my desktop and double click on it it opens up
just fine in Microsoft Office Word !
Any suggestions?
 
Missing "open" action in .doc file associations is the usual cause. I can assist you if you post the .doc file association report, or send to my email id.

1. Download FileExtInfo.zip from here:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/fileextinfo.htm

2. Unzip the utility and extract the files to Desktop.
3. Double-click "FileExtInfo.exe" to run it.
4. Select .DOC from the list
5. Click "View file association report"
6. Copy the contents of the report and include it in your reply.
