OK. Now today when I tried to open the file, it tells me that the feature is
not installed. I need to find my disk and give that a shot. My computer has
been tempermental lately, not allowing me to do things one time then when
restarted it lets me. Thanks for all of your advice.

Do not try and open the files from Outlook. Save the attachment to the hard
drive (right click save as) and attempt to open from there. Messing around
with temporary files merely complicates things and is bad practice. If these
are Word Perfect files, provided the Word Perfect filter is installed, Word
should be able to make a reasonable stab at opening them.

Better still, get your friend to save them in a Word compatible format such
as RTF.

No I haven't. Been just trying to click on the link to open it from
the email. I tried to save it to my computer, but it doesn't let me.
It says: "Outlook cannot save the URL to a file. Can't find this
file. Make sure the path and file name are correct."
How would I open it in Word when it is Microsoft Outlook?
Thanks for your help.

It sounds as if you are trying to open this from an Explorer window.
Have you tried opening it from within Word?

When I try to open the attachment it says:
"The file, 'C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet\OLK7086\Lets
Celebrate...', does not have a program associated with it for this
action. To create an association, double-click My Computer on your
desktop. On the View menu, click Options, and then click File
Types."
I don't know/see what I am to be creating an association for.
Would I be creating a "New Type"? if so, what would I use for the
"Add New Type" dialog box?

If the version of WordPerfect is later than Word 2000, you may not
be able to. But Word can open .wpd files. If this ultimately
doesn't work, ask your friend to save her documents in Rich Text
Format (.rtf).

I have Microsoft Word 2000. I have a friend who sends me files
that are ..wpd which I understand are WordPerfect files (she has
Windows XP). Is there any way I can view these files? Thanks.
