Hi
Sometimes I need to open SRT files with Word but not all the times, so I keep Notepad the default program to open them. But sometimes I want to open them with Word, but when I Right-click an SRT file and go to open with, I don't see Word with the other programs there, so I have to click choose default program and then go all the way down to choose Word.

How can I have Word appear in the open with programs?

- Right click on SRT file
- Open with
- Select another app
- More Apps
- Open with another App on this PC
- Navigate to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\" and select "WINWORD.EXE"

Now you should have Word always in your "Open with..." list.
This tutorial works a little bit different on different Windows / Office versions but I think you will understand this!

Good luck!

Thank you for your reply, but it still doesn't show in the list.
I have Windows 8.1 - Office 2010

Hmm; it works for systems < win/8...
Instead of Winword, find Office under programs and point at Word
