[QUOTE="chscag, post: 667882, member: 46727"] I'm assuming here you're referring to MS Office 2008 for the Mac - installed on your MBP and the one owned by your father? If the *.doc file opens from within Office, it should automatically open when you double click it from the documents folder or from anywhere else. File associations for *.doc and other MS Office document extensions are installed by default when MS Office is installed. No need to convert to *.docx. If it's not working correctly, I suggest you use your MS Office install CD to do a repair of MS Office. That should re-set all file associations correctly. Also be sure to download and install MS Office 2008 SP 1. Do that prior to the repair. Regards. [/QUOTE]
