Don't find Word 2007 in "Open With" programs

[Metethran]

I recently purchased Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 and my computer
has Vista. Whenever I try to open a .doc file online, it wants me to use
Word Pad and doesn't even list Word 2007 in the "Open With" section.

You will have to be a little more determined. From Open With, select Choose
Program. Word 2007 won't be listed, so click Browse and find it. Note,
however, that the item for Microsoft Office Word on my computer uses the
Word 2007 icon (but opens the doc in Word 2003 on my system, where I have
both installed).
