Question So, the weirdest thing happened...
I was designing in Illustrator and went to export it to Photoshop. I must have not been paying attention and instead exported it to Microsoft Word. What's weird is that simple action essentially replaced my entire Word program with the Illustrator file that now automatically opens in Photoshop even though it still has the Word icon. My Word program has entirely disappeared. Can anybody help me? Do I simply reinstall Word? Or is it easier or more complicated than that? Please let me know. I'm lost!

Right click on the word file, choose properties, select Open With, then find word on the list, or look for it in the browse option. Then check the always use this program, and click ok.
