Hello all!
I have come across an odd one: a client called to say that Vista couldn't
open a .doc file on her computer: the error message said there was no
program associated with that type of file. She uses WordPerfect 10 and has
no MS Office products on her computer. So I told her to go to Control Panel/
Default programs then click on Associate a file type or protocol with a
program. Much to my surprise, the file types listing did not include .doc
and I could see no way to add a new file type not in the list.
(I had her open the file by opening WordPerfect then browsing to the file in
question - worked like a charm.)
There MUST be a way to add .doc to that list without installing Word!. Would
anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your time and thought on this.
