Opening documents directly from attachments can cause problems in

ways. Instead, save the attachment to your Word documents folder, then
open
it from there.

I received 3 emails with word attachments and tried opening them. They
opened
for about 1/2 second and then disappeared. I try re-opening them and
they
do
not open.
