Opening text files with Word 2003

Greetings all -

Shortly after installing Office 2003, I tried right-clicking on a txt file in Windows Explorer and choosing Open With, expecting to see Word in the list as always ... It wasn't there so I click on Choose Program and looked for Word in the list of programs to choose from ... it wasn't there, altho other Office apps did appear in the list.

So I hit the Browse button and navigated to the OFFICE11 folder under Program Files, selected WINWORD.EXE and clicked Open ... Word still did not appear in the list of programs to use.

Access, FrontPage, InfoPath, Picture Manager, and Publisher all appear but no Word or Excel.

Have I gone brain-dead? Or is there something I'm missing that wouldn't normally occur to anyone but an MS engineer?

Cheers, woggie
 
Addendum - Sorry, I should mention I'm using WinXPPro

Chagrined, woggie
