I'm thinking of the 2003 Word and Excel viewers. It would be useful if you
could open attachements directly in the viewer. For example - I ordered something from Dell and they send a quote back. I want to view the quote, but not to open Word.

Tricky if you have Word installed. Windows will have registered word.exe
associated with the .doc file extension. You 'could' change the association for .doc so that it opens the Word Reader but that will cause even more problems because when you open Word it will run the Office Installer to reregister .doc as the default which takes around a minute to complete. But I expect that it may be possible to add the Open With command to the right-click shortcut in Outlook. This would let you right-click the attachment, select Open With, Word Viewer. That is a question I would ask in an Outlook Newsgroup. Terry "Gazza" wrote in message ... I'm thinking of the 2003 Word and Excel viewers.
