open with list

[Guest jdevola]

When trying to open a file using the 'open with...' list (right-click on

file, choose program to open with), nothing happens. I have had this problem

only recently. The last time was with a *.txt file. I choose MS Word from

the 'open with..' list, but the file won't open. MS Word documents (*.doc)

will open by choosing any program in the list.

 

Any idea why the text files won't open with Word using the open with list?

Thanks
