I want to get rid of Word Viewer so I can create and edit documents in Word, but through Control Panel Add/Remove, only option was to remove from list - message says program was already uninstalled, yet there it is when I save a Word Document - it's saved in an un-editable Word Viewer format. What can I do? thanks

When you say viewer format what is the extension? .doc? If so it sounds like viewer is the default opener for word documents. You can change this by right clicking on any word document choosing 'open with' Microsoft word and ticking the box down the bottom that says 'always use this program'.
