    Word docs

    many thanks for responding and trying to help me. the problem is that all of the docs in various folders that were word docs are no longer word docs - they only open on wordpad (and so parts of the docs cannot be seen). does anyone know why that would
    happen?

    I actually don't know if I have a current subscription to office.

    thanks again for any help anyone can give

    Word docs

    Hi,

    If you right click on one of the doc files & choose open with is Word listed?

    Do you have a current subscription to Office?

    Can't open a Word Doc.

    Opening a Word doc in a Second Desktop from Explorer

    Thank you so much for your reply!

    To clarify, the problem is that whenever I try to open another word doc in file explorer in a second desktop it goes back to the desktop in which there already is a word doc open and opens the requested doc there, instead of in the second desktop.

    I have tried the repair and it did not help. Any other suggestions?

    Cindy
