Double-Clicking Document Opens New or Untitled Document
'Article ID: Q113779

Creation Date: 14-APR-1994

Revision Date: 21-FEB-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Macintosh operating system version 7.1

SYMPTOMS

In the Finder, double-clicking a document icon does not open the document. Instead, the program associated with the document is started (or becomes the active application) with an Untitled or New document window.

Documents are opened correctly if you open them from within their applications by clicking Open the File menu.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, reinstall the Macintosh system software. Prior to reinstalling the system software, remove the System file from the System Folder and place it on the desktop. Moving the System file to the desktop prevents corrupted resources in the old System file from being transferred to the new System file during installation.

Contact Apple Computer Inc. to report the problem.

MORE INFORMATION

This problem has been reported in a variety of programs (including Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and TeachText) running under System 7.1.
