File association problem?

1. Open Windows Explorer by right-clicking the Start button, and then click Explore.
2. Click a folder that contains a file of the type that you want Windows to open in a program that you select.
3. Right-click the file and, depending on the programs installed on your computer, complete one of the following steps:
   • Click Open With to choose the program that you want.
   • Point to Open With, and then click Choose Program to choose the program that you want.

Sorry if this old lady is stupid, but the files are email attachments where I have been sent a word doc but they open in picture, I cannot find word in explorer (micosoft office word)

Instead of opening the attachment...you could choose to save the file to your desktop, and then follow the instructions given above. To locate Word - if it is installed on your computer.....

click browse, and go to Microsoft Office > Office 12 >Word
