export to Excel ends in Word

[Gert]

I have installed MS Web Components 10.0.0.2621 to make Pivot tables in
an HTML document. Web Components offers the option to export the Pivot
table to Excel.
I also have installed MS Office 2002.

When I have created a Pivot table using Web Components and I click on
the button 'Export to Excel' the system opens a Word document instead
of an Excel document. This document remains empty because no data from
the Pivot table are entered into the Word document.

When I first open Excel and then click on the 'Export to Excel' button
I get a correct Pivot table in Excel.

So I do have a workaround for this (i.e. first opening Excel) but the
application should open Excel by itself. Has anyone any idea why this
goes
wrong? Thanks in advance.

are you doing anything out of the ordinary with the controls? what data are
you trying to export?
