My wife is using my old laptop (Pismo) & running Microsoft Office 2001 on OS 9.2. She gets files from work regularly that are word documents written on a PC. Lately when she tries to open them, a box comes up telling her to pick an application & the only choice is Microsoft Word 2001 using Maclink Plus (version 11, I think) & all click boxes, etc are blacked out. This used to work fine, but now Maclink tells us that it is expired & the files wont open. If she opens up Word & selects "open File" she can open the files just fine. How do I go about changing the settings so that Word will open the files just by clicking on them (getting rid of Maclink plus' interference)?

Thanks in advance,

Get rid of the Maclink Plus extensions. Maclink Plus was once a great app (at the time that it was bundled with OS 8), but the changes they made to it really turned it into a dog.
