Re: Word docs try to use wrong version

User had Office/Word vX Mac - in setting up a new iMac - before Office vX was
migrated over, user somehow downloaded and ran a test drive of Word 2004.
Even though we ran Office removal tool - and then migrated vX... when one
double clicks a Word document - it refuses to open, instead giving an error.
If one forces the Open With in Get Info to the Word vX version - it works -
but only on that one changed document.
Is there a way to get the reference, the memory of Word 2004 ever existing -
out of the system somehow - of course without wiping and reinstalling
everything on the computer? Some pref file that can be edited? Something to
make this Mac forget about the test drive version? Help!


Does this work?:
Do "get info" on a Word file in Finder, there's an "open with" option.
Select the application you want (Word vX) and "apply to all" (I cannot
remember the exact wording). That way, all Word docs should open on
double-click with the correct version.
