Need to add ".doc" extension

That's when I got that window I posted, whs. Am trying to figure out how to do the two previous suggestions...

I went to the associate a program page, clicked ".doc," chose Widows Media Player to open it, and got the window I posted on the other page, plus this one:

Eight other people got this type of file from the same trusted source and were able to open it. I feel so stupid!

Finally! I was at last given an actual drop-down menu in the associate file with program page, and there was Open Writer. I chose it, and now I have opened the two files. So sorry I was able to open them now. Twenty-five pages!

Thanks to everyone who helped me with this. I appreciate the time you took to walk me through it.

The second half of her last post clears that up...

Do not choose Windows Media Player, Choose OpenOffice Writer.
Windows Media Player is for Music and Video files.

Oh, no. I didn't close WMP. I left it as the default, but was allowed to choose something else (i.e. Open Writer) from the drop-down for the first time. I hope this is the correct procedure.

Hi Notty,

If you were able to open them you did it right. :)

Hiya, Derek! Yes, at long last (with the help of lots of people) I now know how to do the file association cha cha. Never knew about this before. I'm not nottaclue for nothin!

That's good to hear, that's the same thing we did when I helped you that time. Maybe you need to change your name now.
