Ok so you had Office 97 (really 97 haha) and you got Office 10. Since you had the 97 version of Office first that is your default office, but you said you deleted that version. DId you uninstall it correctly? There might be some leftovers of that program in the registry or something.. If I understand correctly I think you might want to repair Office 10 or re-install it to it make it your default program.

Right click one file that you want to open. Go to "Open as..." and then "choose standard program" (at the bottom. Mine is in norwegian, so im just translating). Find Word 10 and choose it, tick the "make it standard for every file" (or something like that) box.

Hopefully that will help.
