I am currently running a 2.4ghz MacBook Pro with Office 2004. Recently I had to install Parallels and run Windoze XP for a program I need for school. Ever since then, whenever I try to open a .doc file, it wants to boot up Windows and open it through WordPad in Windows. I can fix this by clicking on the individual file and clicking "Open with > Office > Word > Always use this program for this file.

That fixes it for the single file only though. I have numerous .doc files and continue to get new ones all of the time(being that I am in school). My question is how do I make Word 2004 the default program to open ALL of my .docs and subsequent ones that I get? I cannot seem to figure it out.

Here is an example of how the files look:

Thanks.
 
Highlight a .doc file, press Apple+I to bring up the info box. Change the open with pull down to Microsoft Word, and hit the Change All button.
