   Problem with doc files   
   25 Apr 07 23:14:44   
   
   From: sherwindu@comcast.net   
      
   After removing a trial version of Windows Office 2003, I could not print doc   
   attachments from my Netscape 4.7.  I know this is no longer a supported   
   program,   
   but I still prefer using it for emails.  I use my Netscape 7.1 for browsing   
   activity.   
      
   I tried to change the application type in preferences to define a new handler   
   for the   
   doc files.  Netscape said there was already an application for doc files.   
   However,   
   I carefully went through the list of application files and found no doc files   
   assigned.   
      
   My system assigns doc files to MSWord, which can read doc files from my hard   
   drive.  Netscape has no listing for MSWord application.  I tried creating a   
   handler   
   for doc's using Open Office, but Netscape would not let me do it, saying there   
   was   
   already a assignment for doc files.  Folder options in Windows 2000 has the doc   
   files opening with Open Office.  I'm stuck.  Any ideas?
