Guest jdevola Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 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
