All files created by Word2002 can not be opened by Word2007 beta. Is
there a remedy for this problem? The OS is Windows Vista RC2.

I right-click the file, select "Open with", see no Word2007 option,
click "Browse", point to Word2007 in Program Files but that is ignored
and thus Word2007 does not get entered in the option list.
What error message do you get?

What if you just select Open? Does it open then in Word 2007?
What about if you open Word 2007, then click the Office button, Open and
open your file that way?

If I double-click on the file, nothing happens. If I launch Word2007,
click on Office button, click on Open, and navigate to where the file is
and double-click on it or single click on it and click on "Open" will
open the file.
Why simply double clicking on the file does not open the file?

I right-click the file, select "Open with", see no Word2007 option,
click "Browse", point to Word2007 in Program Files but that is ignored
and thus Word2007 does not get entered in the option list.

All files created by Word2002 can not be opened by Word2007 beta. Is
there a remedy for this problem? The OS is Windows Vista RC2.
