Email attachment opens as blank Word document
I upgraded from Office 04 to Office 08 and now when I double-click on any
..doc or .docx file in an email attachment Word opens to a blank document. I can open the file if Word is open and I search through my attachments folder. What do I need to do to make it so double-clicking the document in the email opens it directly? |

Email attachment opens as blank Word document
Surely that depends on your email software?
I don't know whether this applies to the Mac, but (on a PC) you should never open an email attachment directly in Word; save it to your hard drive first.

Email attachment opens as blank Word document
I'm using Eudora. Previously, double-clicking the attachment opened the
document directly in word. I am able to click the attachment in Outlook and open the word document directly without saving it first. The ONLY difference was the upgrade from 04 to 08.
