You probably need to reregister Word. At the Start | Run prompt, type

winword /r

and press Enter (note that there is a space before the forward slash and
none after it). It may not seem like anything is happening (or you may get a
message), but Word will have reclaimed its "ownership" of these file types
in the Windows Registry. For more, see
