How do I force embedded viewing of .doc back to MS Word?

Not sure. You may need to repair your Word/Office install or uninstall/reinstall.

As far as making stored .doc files writeable, add .doc to the 'File extensions to open stored documents writeable' option:

.doc is marked as writable. Worked before. Doubble clicking a .doc file in explorer launches ms word - as always (I wouldn't dream of changing that :-)

Reinstalling ms word didn't help. Solution was: get rid of OpenOffice, clean the registry, restart. After this UR would hang when trying to view a .doc document until... I started ms word :-) Happy now!
