Difficulty opening attachments

R

Regina K. Stuart

I am having trouble opening certain attachments. When I
click on an attachment, Outlook Express attempts to open
it using Excel. The attachments come out in an
unintelligle spread sheet format. It is my guess that I
might be able to open these documents using Word. How do
I get Word to open an attachment rather than Excel? Any
help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If the wrong application is opening when you click a document, try
reregistering Word. From the Start, Run dialog type in

winword /r

and press enter. This will reassociate the .doc extension with WinWord in
Windows.
