Hello,

Anytime I try and open up a document in Microsoft Word 2003, it does not work. I have to physically open up the microsoft word program and then open the document from there. Why can I not open the document from just going to my documents or from an email attachment? It is very annoying. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Maybe you should uninstall, then reinstall Word. See if that clears up the problem.

Try deleting the normal.dot file first
See Here

In the beginning there was the command line.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I realized that I had it set to opening with wordicon and not the actual microsoft word document thing so it wouldn't open. A simple right click and a change fixed my problems.

Thanks again...my problems are fixed!
