Bug 268789 [OLE] Cannot create in-place editor for Microsoft Word documents in Windows Vista
Reported: 2009-03-16 10:07:37 | Status: verified fixed

Attempting to open a .doc file results in the following error dialog: Cannot create the in-place editor Reason: this is probably because there is no OLE editor registered against the type of file you were trying to open Details: failed to create OLE client. result = -2147024891 This appears to only happen in Windows Vista and only for Word documents (ppt and xls opened fine).
