Moving to Active Diretory

P

Paleo

I have my Office Professional 2003 working just fine on my machine, then I
needed to join a domain in Active Directory.

Okay, I have joined without any hasle, my problem was the first time I tried
to use Office. It states "Installing Microsoft Office", opens the software
(Word, Escel, ...) but never opens the files. In example, if I double click a
Word file it opens Microsoft Word but not the document, only the application.
Then I need to go to File -> Open and open it. Of course after that it works
fine.

When I first installed Office I have choosen install only for this user, but
I have migrated that profile.

What on earth should I do in order to correct that??????

I have already tried to uninstall it, but it says I cant do that. Then I
tried to modify its installation. Same answer.

May someone help me out with this???

Try "winword /r" from a command line or the Run box.

Or try to right-click a document in Explorer, "Open with..." and select
Word from the list.
