Windows 7 - Word 2002 not working fully in Vista Home Premium

I have installed Works Suite 2006 in my Vista Home Premium computer.
Everything works fine apart from Word 2002.  I am unable to open Word by
clicking on document files.  If I double click on a document file in Explorer
nothing happens.  If I right click and select Open With, and then click on
wordicon, nothing happens.  I am also unable to launch Word from the Works
Suite program launcher.  I can open Word, no problem, and it appears to work
fine, but to edit a document I have to search for it from within Word, which
is often inconvient.  I have un-installed the suite, and re-installed it, but
the problem still persists.  Is there a fix for this issue?

It's possible I am mis-reading you, but Works does not include Word. It has a
of the real Word app, from the Office Suite, you should consider using
entry, and "Repair"

True, but Works *Suite* (which is what he is asking about) does.
