Hi...
When I bought my computer, it had Microsoft Works suite preinstalled.
However, I need to open certain WORD attachments in correct format, so I
installed Microsoft Word. But it still opens Word attachments in Works. There
must be a simple way of telling the machine to open in Word! Any suggestions
please??

Create a file association.

1. Download and save the attachment on the desktop.
2. Right click on the saved file.
3. Select: Open With from the pop-up menu.
4. Click: Choose [default] Program.
5. Select: MS Word.
6. Check: Always use the selected program to open this kind of file.
7. Click OK.

This should enable you to open these attachments directly from the e-mail
now.
