Good Evening to all of you. I recently received some attachments that were
Word 6.0 documents. I could not open them in Outlook Express, nor in
Hotmail. But, I could open them in SBC Yahoo. My question is, why could I
not open them in Outlook Exress and Hotmail, but could in SBC Yahoo? And,
how do I fix this? My OS is XPHome SP2, IE6. If this is not the correct NG
for this, forgive me. I just thought maybe someone would have an idea. Is
downloading OpenOffice my only option? Thanks for caring. Belle
 
MS offers a WORD viewer

Belle, the surprise is that any of your email programs could read the
attachment. You can get this free Word viewer from MS:
Word Viewer 2003
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=95e24c87-8732-48d5-
8689-ab826e7b8fdf&DisplayLang=en
Also, there is another download availble: Excel Viewer 2003. Should you need
it, just Google.
 
Thanks to all of you. Rick, WordPad would not open the attachments. The
WordViewer is exactly what I need. This NG is my lifeline. I appreciate
every one of you. Thank You. Belle
