My computer came w/ Wordperfect and all documents preferentially are opened
with it. I now installed Word (my preference) and need to change the default
word processor to Word. Help. Windows XP

In Windows Explorer, right click on each of the types of files (extensions)
that you want to open with Word and select the Choose Program item and then
select Word as the program to be used.
