:shock: In Default Programs>Set your default programs, the only program associated with Microsoft Word is something called Word (desktop), and the icon is a Word 2010 icon.
I searched online for help and have tried everything I found, including the registry change, but when I tried to name the new key it said it already existed. This is the link to that advice: How to make Microsoft Word 2013 the default program even if Microsoft Word 2010 is also installed | Fury Computing
I would like to keep both programs available, but I want Word 2013 as default for opening all Word documents.
I am using an HP Pavilion win 8.1 desktop computer, which I purchased with win 8 pre-installed.
