Hi,
I have the following problem: there is a word document on a website. I
am trying to Open the document in Word and then File->Send To->Mail
(as attachemnt). When I click on the docment on www, File Download
window appears. When I choose OPEN the file it is saved in Temp folder
as a .tmp file and opened in MS Word, but then I am trying to Sent To
command it is attached to mail as a .tmp file instead of .doc file.
When I choose SAVE and then OPEN then everything works fine (Send
to ... and the file is attached as doc file).

Does anybody have any idea how to OPEN files not as temporary files?
Or how to bypass SAVE and then OPEN by clicking the file and when SAVE
and OPEN is done by default? (as it is indeed when I choose OPEN but
the file is recognized as temp file not doc file).

I hope I am clear enough n my explanation :)
Thank you for your help and advice in advance.

Right-click on the download link and select "Save (target) as" instead of
Open.

This is not the case. If i right click and save as it will be the same
as File Download -> Save... then Open.... but I want to do it as easy
as Open without "Always ask before opening..." but not save it as temp
file, but regular file with .doc extension and have it opened
immediately.

You cannot stop it from saving as a tmp file; anything downloaded, pages
included, goes into the tmp files. If you can't do the extra steps, you're
probably out of luck, IMO, the advice from Pa Bear is your best bet. It
doesn't sound like you tried the "target" option.
Or, you could just change the extension to .doc before you mail it<g>.
