Word (.doc) attachment opens Excel instead of Word
OE 6.0 -- When I click a Word (.doc) attachment and open, Excel opens
(instead of Word) and says it is not a valid file format. I have to save the ..doc and then open it. But if it is an Excel document, it opens correctly as if Excel has become a default to open any attachment. Help, and I'm not a computer whiz. Thanks.

Word (.doc) attachment opens Excel instead of Word
Save a .doc attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose
Program. Find and choose a program that works, (Word), and then check the box: Always use this program to open this kind of file. This should enable you to open these attachments in the future. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Suzy-Q" wrote in message ...
