This is on Windows 7, Office 2007, and calibre 2.24 - all patches have been applied to windows and office. I don't know if this was a problem on earlier calibre versions because I hadn't used the new Open With on MS Office documents

If I right click a DOCX I am offered Open with Microsoft Office Word - when I select it, Word starts but the file doesn't load. If I simply click on the DOCX, Word starts and the file is loaded.

Same thing happens with XLSX - right click, Open With Microsoft Office Excel starts Excel, but the file is not loaded, but if I just click on the XLSX, Excel is started and the file is loaded.

Same thing if I use Open with Microsoft Office Word on an RTF, Word starts but file isn't loaded. However, I am also offered Wordpad for the RTF file, if I select it. then Wordpad is started and the file is loaded

If I right click a PPTX file and select Powerpoint, then Powerpoint starts and the PPTX file is loaded. ONE files are also OK - right click on one, select OneNote, it starts and the ONE file is opened.

FWIW - the Windows shell Open With works fine on all the above file types on the same files.

This is unimportant to me because I normally open format files via the View specific format option. Other programs such as Sigil on EPUBs, Irfan View on images etc work fine with built-in Open With. I stumbled on it because I wanted to see the new get Path feature.

Is/will there be a (built in) Open With toolbar item, on my HP-Mini, I don't display the book details panel. Would be 'nice' if it could be incorporated into the View toolbar as View specific format with specific program.
