How to associate 1997-2003 Word doc files with Word 2010?

Hi
I am surprised not to be able to find out how to associate word 1997-2003 Word files with Wrod 2010. The object is to have Word 2010 open the document when I click on the document. Many of my Word 1997-2003 documents were created using Word 2010.
When I try to use the associations function in Windows 7 I cannot find the Word program. Checking "Properties" on the Word Icon leads to a program called "CVH.EXE" which does nothing when I try to open doc files with it.
Thank you.

Hi,
From your description , I understand that you want to open the prior Word doc files in Word 2010.
You can refer to the KB article that resolve this issue:
How to open and save Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 or 2010 files in earlier versions of Office programs

HHow to put many documents in one file with words count

Pdfs have no concept of words. Combining pdfs cannot be done with Reader. You need either Acrobat on a Mac or PC or perhaps with the PDF Pack service.

Converting Word .doc File with Hyperlinks to PDF

There appear to be a rather large number of posts in this forum describing problems similar to mine. I've tried most of the work-arounds suggested with no good results.
First the basics. I'm running Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional (8.1.3) and Microsoft Office (Word) 2003. My situation is that I've got hundreds of 1 page Word documents that contain a single jpeg with a relative link at the bottom which is suppose to reload an index pdf file that resides one folder above; ie. ..\index.pdf.
The entire reason I went to Acrobat Pro from Standard was to get the Batch Processing capability so I just point to the 100's of Word doc's and have them converted to pdf's in the same directory. Doesn't happen correctly. The link is corrupted during the conversion. I've tried all the setting in both Word and Acrobat that have been suggested... nothing works. Of course the links work fine in Word.
The strange part is that if I use the "Convert to Adobe PDS" menu option in Word (which just calls Adobe Acrobat under the covers) it works fine. Unfortunately, individually converting 100's of one page doc files is time consuming.
So, my questions are:
Has anyone gotten to the bottom of converting Hyperlinks from Word to Acrobat successfully? (I tried using Word 2007 with similar bad results)
Does anyone know if Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro has solved the Word Hyperlink conversion problem? Is it worth upgrading?
Adobe tells me that I have to pay $39 per incident to get support since I'm one release back. Does anyone have an opinion on how likely it is that Adobe Support will resolve my problem in a timely fashion?
Thanks for any suggestions you may provide. I will continue to look for novel ways of resolving this and will post if I'm successful.

I don't see my reply to the first message; so it may have gotten lost. So, here goes again.
I have tried opening the Word doc in Adobe and get interesting but not usable results. Acorbat converts it to a pdf document. I then look at the link and it's correct. I then click on the link and Acrobat asks me if I want to save the file before loading the index page that is referenced... of course I do... the link works... However, when I then click on the link in the index page to return the newly converted and saved page it is loaded but the link is corrupted.... and no longer works.
This seems to indicate that somewhere in the Acrobat Save routine the module that is doing the save is corrupting the link.
I have tried many combinations with similar results. I am currently looking at writing a VB.NET routine that will restore the link after the save is done... perhaps that will work.
Thanks for your response.

Open Doc File with Word via Remoteapp

Server 2012 with RDS. We publish office to some client pc's that do not have office installed locally. Is it possible to associate office files like doc, xls and so on so that when the user clicks to open an office file, the file will use the published office
to open said files? I looked it the file associations of the published office apps on the server. Checked the boxes for doc and docx, updated the connection and tried to open a doc -> opened with wordpad and not the published word app. Is this possible?

"uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version" error message when opening a *.doc file with Word already running

Several customers running different versions of Office 2011 (14.4.1-14.4.5) on OSX varying from 10.7.5 to 10.9.5, running on various kinds of hardware (iMac/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air) of various ages are having issues opening *.doc files if the Word is already open. The error message that gets displayed is, "XXXX.doc uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version"
When the customer tries to open the same file via File-Open, she gets "The file is locked for editing. you can open the file as read-only".
When trying to do so, she gets "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters".
If Word gets Force-quit, the same document opens without any problems.
1. Repairing Disk permissions was ran several times. and the volume was found to be OK.
2. I have noticed that in this scenario either deleting the normal.dotm or com.microsoft.word.plist (~/Library/Preferences) sometimes resolves the issue, sometimes it doesn’t. There is no pattern to follow. All versions of Office are affected, the fully updated and the non-updated ones.
3. I have tried completely removing the suite using Office 2011 Uninstall.app and/or Remove Office 2011 Uninstaller.pkg, then going through customer's library and manually removing all the Office references.
4. None of these systems had Office 2008 in the past.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Reboot both the Mac and the server. Word opens .DOC files and Excel opens .XLS files. As you have found out by copying the files to the computer. It is the connection between the 2 computer that is causing the error.

Why can I no longer open .doc files with Word2011

I can no longer open .doc files with Word 2011. .docx files are not a problem. Everything stops responding as soon as I try to open a .doc file and I have to do a manual reboot (by holding the power button down). This seems to coincide with my update to Mavericks OSX. I have Word version 14.3.9.
A colleague of mine is having the exact same problem.
I tried repairing my disk permissions but this didn't help.
Please advise.

How to open and read pdf and micrsoft word (.doc) files or documents

My problem is how to use my BB 9800 software version 6.0.0.546 to read/view pdf files and microsoft office documents. I have also bought documents to go from online and have installed it on my phone, but whenever i try to open it I receive a message that it is incompactible. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Sammy.
Why not install a 3rd party PDF reader and Word Doc reader to help open and read pdf and micrsoft word (.doc) files or documents? You can google it and select one whose way of processing is simple and fast to help you with the related converting work. It will be better if it is totally manual and can be customized by users according to our own favors. Remember to check its free trial package first if possible. I hope you success. Good luck.

Thanks for your replies..I think i almost find the solution. I found 2 options to do this. They are :

2. Get OpenOffice 2.0.4 and it's SDK (opensource)
So, i do option 2. I install them in my system.then i call them from my ide. Then i follow the code from this link..

How to create pdf from word doc file

HI
I have a word doc file. (not docx). I have adobe 8 pro. I wrote a word script to create the file using the distiller. The fonts in the pdf file it makes look wacky. That script looks liek this:
* create archive pdf file
lfilename = "t:\cardeals\pdf\pdf_archive\" + PADL(alltrim(STR(month(date()))),2,"0") + PADL(alltrim(STR(DAY(DATE()))),2,"0") + SUBSTR(ALLTRIM(STR(YEAR(DATE()))),3,2) + "1.pdf"
oWord = createOBJECT("Word.Application")
oWord.DisplayAlerts = .f.
oWord.documents.open('t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc')
oword.ActivePrinter = "\\CSSSERVERONE\Overflow"
oword.application.printout(,,,,,,,4,,,,,,,,,,,)
oWord.PrintOut(.F.,.F.,,"c:\output.ps",,,,,,.F.)
oPDF = CREATEOBJECT ( "PDFDistiller.PDFDistiller.1" )
oPDF.FileToPDF("c:\output.ps", "&lfilename.", "High Quality" )
oWord.application.quit
release oword
I also wrote a script to attempt to print it from the Adobe printer. It seems to work, but when I go to open the created pdf file it I get the following message:
Acrobat could not open mypdf.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
The code was this:
Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    Set oDocument = CreateObject("Word.Document")
    oWordApp.Visible = True
    oWordApp.Application.WindowState = wdWindowStateMinimize
    Set oDocument = oWordApp.Documents.Open("t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc")
    strOutputPDFName = "c:\mypdf.pdf"
    holdprtrdefault = oWordApp.ActivePrinter
    oWordApp.ActivePrinter = "Adobe PDF"
    oWordApp.Application.PrintOut FileName:="t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc", _

How to load word .doc-files into java applications?

Hi,
I want to load a word .doc-file (or any other type of document) into a java application, as part of the application.
Is there any java special library to do it?
Any solution or hint?
Thank you.

No, there is no existing Java library to do it that I am aware of. You could write your own, however, as the Word 97 binary file format is published. I am not sure that the Word 2000, or XP formats are as well, but since they put out the 97 presumably they'd do the same with the rest -- although I am suprised that Micro$$$oft even published the 97 format.
A library such as this would take quite some time write, due to the extensive format, but here's a link to a copy of it just so you can see what it'd take: http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~bob/Tech/wword8.html
Also keep in mind that Micro$$$oft has never remained binary compatable between versions. In short, this means that you'd have to parse each version's documents differently. Not a fun task.
If a Java library to read Micro$$$oft file formats already does exist, I'm willing to bet that it costs $$$ mucho dinero $$$.
Hey, aren't proprietary file formats just wonderful?

Download Word .doc file saved in MIME Repository to local PC

I need to store a static Word document on the SAP server and download to the user's browser via a BSP application. I have found code in the IT00 BSP Application to download the Word doc in xstring form to the browser, which will work for what I'm doing. What I cannot seem to find, however, is how to retrieve the Word .doc file stored in the MIME repository and then subsequently how to convert this MIME object to an xstring value. Is there a class or function module available to retrieve and convert the MIME object to an xstring form so that it can be returned as a response back to the browser?

you can use the following code snippet to read mime repository content.
data: o_mr_api type ref to if_mr_api.
if o_mr_api is initial.
o_mr_api = cl_mime_repository_api=>if_mr_api~get_api( ).
endif.
call method o_mr_api->get
exporting
i_url = l_url
importing
e_is_folder = is_folder
e_content = l_current
e_loio = l_loio
exceptions
parameter_missing = 1
error_occured = 2
not_found = 3
permission_failure = 4
others = 5.
l_current will hold the image in a XSTRING var

Capturing the output of a jsp page and save that output in a WORD .doc file

Hi,
This is Naveen. I got stuck up with a problem/doubt. URGENT ! URGENT !
My doubt is how to capture the output of a jsp page(the content is dynamic generated) and save that output to a MS-Word doc file.
I know that therez an option of using Servlets Filters, but this concept is supported by Servlet 2.3 spec. and not earlier. And we are working on previous spec. and our web-servers also supports the prev. version and not the 2.3 version.
If incase, therez a third-party utility for free usage, suggestions are appreciated.
Hope most of them came across this kind of functional requirement. If anyone of them succeeded in this, please express ur bitter experience if any, faced during the coding.
Thanks in Advance for help.
Naveen

You can set the MIME content type as .doc and try to open the Page.
res.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel"); to generate the Page output as Excel
res.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-word"); to generate the Page output as MS Word doc
Hope this helps..
