Yes, you have to add it to the list for the program. However, once you have
added the .doc to the list, then find and select a document that should open
with the program, right click on it, select Open with on the dialog box and
then see if the program has been added to the list on the diallog box. If
not, the go to Tools>Folder Options>File Type and scroll in the list until
you find the .doc you just added and then click the change button, or
whichever one will set the .doc program for that file. That should allow
all other .doc files you download to open with that program, and return the
download Open option.

Hope this helps.
