Opening Word Attachments in Outlook 2003

[Colin A]

Hi

I'm a bit lost with this one....

If I receive an email with a Word document attachment (I've sorted the renaming thing, so it's just called *.doc and not all that .safe nonsense..) when I double click on it to open it, I only get the option to "Save As"... ??

How can I turn this off....?, I just want to open the Word document in Word..

Many thanks in advance...

Colin

Thanks for the info.... Don't think it is what I was after...

The problem is that I can see the attached Word document in my email.....,
but when I double click on it, the only options I have are to "SAVE TO DISK"
or "CANCEL".... (and the stuff about ATTACHMENT SECURITY WARNING)

I just want to open it, like I used to in Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2002....

Getting a desperate man..... :-(
