i can't open .doc files with microsoft office word 2007

my winword 2007 can't open .doc files by usual way. other programs can open
but word 2007 not. if I open .doc files I should open word 2007 then click
open menu then open my .doc file. this problem there for .doc files not for
..docx,.txt & any files. only .doc. plz, guide me.

Right click on any .doc file while pressing the shift key then go to
"open with" browse for microsoft office word 2007 and check "Always use
this program ..."

I'm having a similar problem. When I click on a .doc or .docx file on
the desktop or in my documents and I browse to WINWORD to open the file,
it jumps back to select a file-type and doesn't show word in the file
list. I can open these files if I first open word and use the folder
icon to navigate to the file.
Any thoughts?

If repairing Word installation does not help, try:

Registering programs with the "Open With" dialog:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/openwithadd.htm

Winword.exe is located at:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE

WTF are you talking about?

The subject describes the OP's problem. The problem fix was correctly
described in another post the same day (THREE MONTHS AGO).

Then along come you with that gibberish.

Hi all,

I am facing a bit odd issue while opening .doc file having microsoft
office 2007 being installed in my PC. It throws error saying that
"*There is no enough memory or disk space to run Outlook*"

I am not sure if this is a valid error message because my system is not
ran out of memory space or whatever. I can open the .doc file by opening
Word seperately and with 'Open' file option. It opens with
'Compatibility Mode'

Please advice....

Run Office or Word, Diagnostics
If you are opening the doc from explorer it sounds like the file
associations are wrong
