If that is correct, then you have a problem. When the OS is correctly 
installed, you can assign any document to virtually any application, 
whether the name is enclosed in quotes or not.

These are two different issues; under OS X there is more than one 
mechanism of linking files to applications. You stated earlier

If that is correct, and it's not an issue of forgetting to choose Show 
All Applications, then there is a problem. Probably not a big one, but 
problems usually don't go away by themselves. I don't about you, but, 
as a consultant, I am not happy if I have to leave a client with an 
problem unsolved.
