Are you opening Word, navigating to the document in Word's File Open dialog,
and opening it from there?

Ok. I was able to do a right click then save as to my documents (Didn't
think of doing that way before). When I go to open the file it says:
Open Office Document
"The program associated with the selected template cannot be started, or
the
program cannot use the selected template."
Any suggestion on this?
Thanks for your help.

Is the file itself attached or only a link to its location online? If
the
former, you should be able to right-click and Save As to My Documents.
If
the latter, you'll need to click on the URL and download the file.

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.
