Rename it while it's sitting in its folder -- click the name once to
highlight it, then click it a second time and the highlighting becomes
darker, then you can click inside the name and add/subtract letters
from the name. Just be careful not to double-click it.

It won't let you rename the file, it opens in an temp folder and then it
stays "in use" or you cannot find the temp folder (I have my folders unhidden)

Graham,
It will not allow me to save the attachment on the harddrive, goes
straight
into the zip format.
The office suite allows me to open excell and PPT sent in 2007 but the
word
won't. *I don't have trouble with a .docx file already saved to the
harddrive
just the ones sent via email.
PS I am also the powerbythehour (ie orginal poster) must have been a while
since I last posted.
I am running Vista 64 SP2, IE 8, and Office 2007. *I cannot open .docx
attachments, when I try it autosaves into a zip file.
1) After the zip file is saved and I try to open the zip file there isn't
a
document there.
2) I can open .docx files saved on the harddrive or
transferred via any medium besides email (ie CD or flash).
3) I cannot right-click and save the document either
4) I am not getting the email on my outlook 2007 but a webmail account.
