Re: HELP:( MS Word trying to open my Excel files
Hi plumism,
Try repairing the Office installation via the Windows Control Panel ('Add/Remove Programs' or 'Programs and Features', depending on the Windows version).

Re: HELP:( MS Word trying to open my Excel files
You probably changed the default file associated with the .xls suffix.
Right click on an .xls file and select "Open with" to bring up the "Open With" window. Browse for the file you want to use, make sure the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of thread." is checked, then select Excel.
