--To all who came to my rescue--

This was my original problem:

>I recently rebuilt the desktop on my Mac.
>Now, when I try to open up a document, I get the following message:

>'The document could not be opened, because the application could
>not be found.'

In other words, I couldn't open up my Clarisworks or Microsoft Word files
without opening up the application first.

I received many suggestions, but here is the solution which I discovered
myself, quite by accident:

I took the Clarisworks application out of the Clarisworks folder and dropped it
onto the desktop. Then I dragged the Clarisworks application from the desktop
and put it back into its folder. Simple as that.

Now I can click on any Clarisworks file to open the Clarisworks application. I
had equal success by doing the same with Microsoft Word

Thanks to all.
