I'm unable to configure Internet Explorer or Office to open attachments into
Word directly. When I open a attached document using mail2web or some other
webbased email browser the documents open in Internet Explorer with partial
Word capabilities until I check the appropriate toolbars.

I am running XP SP2 with Office 2003.

I would like some advice on what steps I need to take to set Word as my
defualt program for all word docs, regardless of where they originate, be it
as an attachment or saved on my HD.

Hi Alex
