Hi Alison,

In your original post, you said, "Word docs always open in text edit unless
I open through Word app or control/click file name --> select open with
Other... --> select Word --> check "always open with". I assumed that meant
you had also clicked "Change All." If you didn't, then that's your problem.

As for the Exchange/10.1.4 update, the reason you need it is noted in the
last sentence of the description: "This update also includes improvements to
Word X, Excel X, and PowerPoint X." And yes, you do need it before
installing 10.1.5.

Are you on a dial-up 56k modem? If so the download will indeed take that
long. If you're on DSL or cable modem, it will be much quicker.

By the way, there are no dumb questions around here, but occasionally a dumb
answer ... like the one I gave you when I failed to determine if you'd done
a "Change All." :-)
