Assigning documents to open in Word

I am having difficulty opening my doc file documents in Word, either from
email or from My Documents. I have tried to use the "Open With" to assign
the file type to open in Word, but Word does not show as an option. When I
browse and choose Word, nothing happens. I tried the Solution given by Frank
Saunders, but it did nothing for me. Any suggestions?

Rightclick the listing for word or office in Programs and Features in
control panel. "Repair"

They do not show on the list of installed programs.

I found Office 2007 in the Programs and Features. I repaired it, but still
unable to open in Word. It's as though Vista does not recognize that it the
programs in Office have been installed.
