Part I: Introduction to the Microsoft Office 2011 Suite

(continued)

The Info window should look

something like this figure:

Now click that pop-up (or drop-

down) menu and select the ver-

sion of the application you want

to open when you double-click

this document. In the figure,

that version is Word 2011 (also

known as Word 14.0.0), which

is the default for .doc files. To

open the document in Word

2008 or 2004, you choose Word 12 or Word 100702 (don’t ask)

for them, respectively.

If you want all documents of this type — a .doc file in the

example — to launch this version of Word, just click the

Change All button.

Or, right-click the document and choose Open With from the

contextual menu to select a different application to open it this

time. Finally, right-click the document and then hold down the

Option key — the menu changes from Open With to Always

Open With — to launch a different application every time you

open this document.

There you have it — if the wrong version of an Office applica-

tion launches when you open a document, you now know how

to fix it.
