I am able to open all Word type documents files(doc and docx) in new Word 2013. Every once in a while my computer likes to open a Word document in the old Word 2003. I can't figure out why it does that since the default is Word 2013. Any ideas? David G.

It will suggest programs to use to open the file. Select the bottom entry which is probably "Choose Default Program" click the one you want - say Word 2013 and the window will close.
