Word 2002 not working fully in Vista Home Premium

I have installed Works Suite 2006 in my Vista Home Premium computer.
Everything works fine apart from Word 2002. I am unable to open Word by
clicking on document files. If I double click on a document file in Explorer
nothing happens. If I right click and select Open With, and then click on
wordicon, nothing happens. I am also unable to launch Word from the Works
Suite program launcher. I can open Word, no problem, and it appears to work
fine, but to edit a document I have to search for it from within Word, which
is often inconvient. I have un-installed the suite, and re-installed it, but
the problem still persists. Is there a fix for this issue?

It's possible I am mis-reading you, but Works does not include Word. It has a
"Works Word Processor". If you are having trouble with an additional install
of the real Word app, from the Office Suite, you should consider using
"Programs and Features" in Control panel to rightclick the Word or Office
entry, and "Repair"

True, but Works *Suite* (which is what he is asking about) does.
