Mike, although I already got help with resolving my problem, I'd very much
like to know how to assign a program to open a file. I've come across this
situation so many times and I just don't know how to complete that action.
I'm running JAWS latest version, Windows 7 and Word 2010. I hope I included
all the info you asked for. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Jo

Hi Jo,
You need MS Word to open this file. The file extension, .doc, is the old
file extension for MS Word prior to Word 2007, & possibly 2003, but I'm not
sure about 2003. If you have a newer version of Word installed, you will
also need to have the, Compatibility Pack, installed. This program allows
newer versions of Office to open, read, & edit older files from older Office
versions.
If you need to know how to assign a program to open this file, now this is a
totally different set of steps. First we need to know if you have Office
installed, & possibly what operating system you're running depending on your
needs.
Take care, Mike.
Sennt from my iBarstool. Go Dodgers!

Hi All,
I received a .doc document, but I can't read it. I'm informed that I need to
create something in the control panel. As you can all see, I'm not familiar
with this. I've been using JAWS for many years, but have never come across
this situation. I know that many of you out there will know what the heck
I'm talking about and will be able to help me. Thanks for any suggestions
you may have.
Jo
