need help selecting default program to open .mdi files from MS Office

There are dumb questions. They are only asked by someone that already knows the answer.
That said, I need help selecting a default program to open .mdi files from MS office 2003. I found the program in Programs(86), common files, microsoft shared, MODI, 11, MSPVIEW.EXE. But cannot set it up as a 'Default' program.
Can you help or should I just open the program manually and view my MDI files?

Hello Ron, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You might see if you may be able to right click on the file and use "Open With" to select the program to always open it.

Open With - Change Default Program

Hope this helps,

Ron,

Check to see if this may help some more.

Right click on the MDI file, click on Open, then select the Select a program from a list of installed programs option, click OK, and try the link below.

You're welcome Ron. I wish I could help further.

The following MicroSoft article covers opening .MDI files. It refers to Office 2007, but may be a useful guide:
