Word 2007

[spier48]

Just downloaded the new Microsoft office 2007. I type up a brand new document and save it. And when I double click on it in "My Documents", which should open it in Word 2007, I get an error that says that it couldn't locate the file and that I should make sure I typed it correctly. However if I open Word 2007 first and then go to open and access the file that way, it opens just fine. So I'd like to not have to open word first, and just double click on the document's icon to open it, why can I not.

It sounds like the file associations are messed up.
Easiest way to fix this is to run a repair on the office install.

This is a common problem, and I don't know that reinstalling the entire Office suite will help. Search the web for the exactly text of the error, and I guarantee you'll find a few hundred links of things to try.
