Opening XLSM and DOCM files through I.E. 6.0

[Guest]

Hello,

We recently upgraded many of our Excel and Word files to Office 2007 that
were accessed through our local intranet. These files now require the user
to save them somewhere before they are able to open them.

I have set the Security Level for Local intranet sites to Low and am still
unable to open XLSM and DOCM files. Is it possible to set I.E. 6.0 to allow
me to open these types of files without having to save them somewhere first?

Thanks,
Chris

It's probably a File Types issue.
