Hi, I have microsoft word on my macbook pro, and whenever i open a document, it opens pathfinder as its default application. How do i change the default program so that word will open?

Thanks

Select the file

Do Get Info

In the Get Info dialog, choose Word as the app you want to open it with

Check the box for Open All Files With if you want Word to open all files of this type.
