Thanks for your reply.

I am NOT opening the tiff file through word. I am trying to open it in
Internet Explorer while browsing a site. I want to open it directly
instead of having to download & open it.

Thanks,
Rani

Word is not an image editor, so you can't directly open a TIFF file in

If you are using Insert | Picture | From File and this isn't working,
then
the picture may be one of the flavors of TIFF for which Word does not
have a
converter.

When I try to open a tiff file directly on the site I get the message
"Unable to open file "C:\filename". Check file name and permissions.
But I am able to download & then open the same file. Any body have
any
ideas?
Thanks,
Rani

IE does NOT open TIF's either.
You need a graphics software.
