Strange thing in word has happened

I thought maybe there was a registry setting that told word that the default filter for file types was *.doc but I can't find one
There is a setting in Tools/Options... in Word that lets you specify the default filter when saving files but not one for opening.
When you say you can't see .docs do you mean the initial filter in the "Files of Type" dropdown is something other than .docs or do you mean when you select .docs you don't see any files? Bri

I don't think the problem is with normal.dot, however if you want to eliminate that being a problem then just rename it, restart word, try to open a *.doc
If sucessful then normal.dot was corrupt, if not then it's back to the drawing board.
Just bear in mind your own personal settings that you would lose if you rename/delete normal.dot
let me know how you get on Bri
