I have word 2000 installed on a win98 workstation and i got an error when i try to open a .doc file from explorer.
If I open the same file from the "open file" menu inside word 2K everything seem to be ok.
Thanks everybody

Maybe the .doc files are associated with another program instead of Word. Can you see the Word icon in the .doc files? To fix this in Explorer try to clic in a .doc file with the right button and select the Open With... option. In the list select the Word 2000 to open the file and also check the box to use this program allways that this kind of file is opened.

Good luck!

The previous answer from gparreira could be good except one point....if you can open your file from word2000, they should already been associate with WD2000, so go to the explorer and have a look to the menu on the top of the screen and choose view/options/and the file type TAB, at this stage locate the DOC icon file and choose EDIT, you will be able to see with which program the file is associate, check if it's WORD2K otherwise just change it....
