Word 2003 & 2007

I have both versions 2003 & 2007 installed. Word2003 is my primary installation. But RH shall use Word2007. Just setting the default application and/or "Open With" does not help! How to solve this?

Remark: "Repair 2007" is *NOT* what I want to do, as then Word2007 opens all .DOC files per default!

Your question is somewhat difficult to interpret. You might want to rephrase it.

For RoboHelp 11 (and I believe 10), the supported versions of MSWord are Word2013 and Word2010.

Then we cannot use RH.

Nevertheless, the question is rather targetting the way how RH is opening Word. My setup works perfect in explorer - i.e. double clicking a .DOC opens Word2003 and double clicking a .DOCX opens Word2007 (of course, Word needs to be always closed before). But RH does not care about what is configured for double clicking or what is configured as "default application".

I think you will find that Rh uses whichever version of Word was last run. Try that.
