Word Problem After SP2

Installed SP2 as TurboTax 2008 required.

Everything OK except when I double-click any existing Word 2003 *.doc only a blank copy of Word opens.

However, if I open Word first and then use file>open from menu the same *.doc will open fine.

Tried right-click "open with" but it already lists word as the application that will open *.doc.

Help

 

Imagine my surprise when the problem apparently was solved by signing onto the internet and the BBS! Go figure.

 

Problem Has Returned

The problem has returned except now it trys to dial my ISP and using File>Open from Word 2003 no longer works!

 

Funny?

That was one of the first things I did!

 

Word Problem After XP SP2

Thanks for trying but it didn't help.

There is no app or addon called LaserFiche.

This problem developed only after installing SP2 to Windows XP.

I tried Word>Help>Repair and it asked for the Office SBE 2003 CD which I loaded but the end result was no different.

 

Hi Steve, Like minds.

---additional info---(if not Laserfiche, perhaps something similar????----
