Same problem. Such good advice last time I thought I would come back with a follow up. I got rid of word 2007.

In outlook, "always use the selected program" does not work with docx documents.

When I attempt to print the entire document with attachments, or

I right click on the document, and on the menu click print:




Then outlook ALWAYS asks me what program I want to open this program with.



I always want docx programs opened with Microsoft Open XML converter. I always select Microsoft Open XML converter and click the check box "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"

It NEVER works. Everytime I attempt to print a document again, I get the same open with screen.

How can I get rid of this Open with screen and have Outlook automatically open with Microsoft Open XML converter?

Windows Explorer option:

I went to Windows Explorer: Tools | Folders | File Types and created a new registry type "docx". (It was not there before) Windows automatically recognized this file as being opened by Microsoft Open XML converter



When I attempted to print a file, the only change I saw was that on the "open with" screen, Microsoft Open XML converter was highlighted first instead of Internet Explorer.

Any suggestions on how to make Microsoft Open XML converter always open?
