What happens if you chose "Open With", "Chose Default Program" and then Browse, will it let you add another program to the list.
I see that my open with contains both Word, and Open Office as well as Adobe Indesign, and Word Pad.
Ok, I checked!
Well I'll answer my own question, I opened Browse and selected TextAloud as the default program to open text documents, it added it to the list of programs that will open the files when I click on the "Open with" drop-down message.
But like Elmer, now when I click on it, it opens TextAloud but not the file.
And I thought this would be easy. All the other programs except Indesign which can't open .doc files anyway open the document when selected including Open Office. I have no idea why Indesign is even on the list.
The only thing I can suggest is that these programs all got added to the menu during installation and you might give reinstalling the program again a try, taking special note to see if there is anyplace during the indallation where it asks you what kind of files you want it to open.
