I have tried a few different file extensions.

I don't understand. Are you trying to open MS Word?

I want to link icrosoft word to one of the tabs at the bottom sso that it will open like itunes.

Well, the extension would be .exe it's just a question of where it is.
You can always create a shortcut to Word, then direct Rainmeter to the shortcut which will direct it to the real location. :P

Or...
If you use a program, Everything (Voidtools.com), you can search for 'word.exe' and it should tell you the path to it. It's a pretty good search engine, that out performs Windows Search. I love it.

I'm not gonna swear to it, but I think "winword.exe" will launch it.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE

Surely you must have a shortcut for Word somewhere in your start menu or on the desktop? Just right click it, choose "Properties" and in the "Target" input box is exactly what you need, quotes and all. Just copy that and paste it into:

LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute [PASTE HERE]

So for Open Office Writer I get:

LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\swriter.exe"]
