David, I use win7 64 bit and office 2010. Try this: Click on start button at bottom left of screen In the "Search programs and files" box that opens up, type "winword.exe" without the quote marks That should give you a window with the result at the top Right click on that result and choose "Open file location" from the list that appears That should open up explorer and have the program highlighted in the right hand pane, and the path to the program shown in the left hand pane. My one is in C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Office/Office14 I wouldn't think that MS would put any preinstalled versions anywhere else.

However I changed my computer last year and since then I have been unable to get BK to automatically open my files in Microsoft word 2010 I have tried everything John Steed has suggested but it did not work I do have another program which opens in Word, but I like BK reports but now I cannot edit them in Word Maybe something to do with Windows 7 64 bit Anyone else got this problem John Manchester England
