How can I change default setting in Office start-up?

[RHutchinson]

I need to change the default setting on my Word, Excel and PPT
programs (MS Office 2004) so when they open they aren't at, for
example, Word 11.3.0, rather at Word 11.2.3. I mac OSX, a G5.
When I do a control click on any of those programs, go to "get info"
and then choose the 11.2.3 that I want to open with, it does it no
problem. When I click "change all" it doesn't change the default --
the 11.3.0 is always the default despite that I'm trying to change
all. How do I fix this?

BTW this whole problem started when someone at the genius bar deleted
one of the two copies of MS Office that was on my computer. I had 2
versions unintentionally.

Thanks.

Looks like the "genius" was in fact an amatuer who shot the wrong version


I would run Remove Office from your CD, remove both versions, then
re-install and apply the 11.3.5 updater.

That will bring everything right.

Cheers
