Word 2007 can not open *.doc created by itself

[churin]

Word can open word file created by Word 2002 but if I attempt to open a
file created by Word 2007 with .doc extension, then Word 2007 fails to
open it or I could not associate Word 2007 with this file. I wonder what
is going on here. Could anyone help?

hi Churin,

Are you getting a specific message when you try to open a Word document? If you're using the Beta 2 Technical Refresh patch update
(B2TR) then check your Symantec-Norton antivirus product to disable the 'Office Plugin' and see if that helps.

The problem description in my original post is incorrect: If I double
click on a *.doc file it is opend by WordPad and the contents displayed
is mostly unintelligible regardless of what version of Word was used to
create the file.
I attempted to use "Open With" but I could not associate Word 2007 with
*.doc file. Word 2007 can open *.docx and *.rtf files.
The Word 2007 is installed on Windows Vista RC2 x86 so that Norton
Antivirus is not compatible with this OS. Instead AVAST 4.6 is presently
installed. I disabled it but that has no effect on the problem.
