I just upgraded to System 7.  I have an SE with 2MB and am running MS Word
v4.0.  I observe the following odd behaviors:

1.  Word appears on the desktop with a generic application icon rather than
    the typical Word icon
2.  Documents I save from word end up being of type "Document" and appear
    with the generic document icon
3.  When I double click these documents, I'm told that the application that
    created them cannot be found.

Any ideas what's going on here?  This didn't happen until I upgraded to 7.0

p.s.  Compatibility checker tells me that MS Word v4.0 is compatible.
