Subject: is it my word 2000?

I just had the computers at work 'upgraded' from old windows 98 300 and 500 mhz computers to - windows 2000 (with office 2000) and 800mhz

I know that's still old and slow for you experts - but it's a HUGE improvement in speed for me.

anyhow-

now that I have windows 2000 and office 2000 - I seem to be having a problem opening some attachments in email and I can't figure out why.

sometimes I click on a word doc and it gives me the regular option of open or save (usually I just want to read not save) - same thing with pdf- sometimes I get the read or save option.

BUT- sometimes all I get is SAVE and it ticks me off cause I don't want to save the dumb file.

any idea what the problem might be?

CK

[> [> I know, I know, Chris, we have to fix all the links. Right now, I'm working on the GRABBYs. As for your question, sometimes that happens, but I'm not sure why. You should be happy you can at least save it. There are some with Hotmail that can't even do that. -- judi, 10:01:05 02/14/07 Wed [1]

[> The attachments that only give you the save option are still still excel or pdf documents or are they other types of files? -- Hope, 06:34:05 02/14/07 Wed [1]

[> My uneducated guess is that it has more to do with your email program and not with your version of Word. I still use Office 2000 (even though I have a perfectly good copy of Office 2003 on the shelf) and I can't remember ever getting ONLY the save option and not the open option. But maybe I haven't been paying attention. But wait, you said you use Mozilla. Are you opening your email in Mozilla and not in Outlook or Outlook Express? Are you using a remote email like Yahoo? Maybe it's a yahoo problem. -- JJ (Ronda)--I really don't know. I'm just putting possibilities out there., 17:50:32 02/14/07 Wed [1]

[> [> I use mozilla firefox on all my computers and I open my email online through Juno. I've never used outlook express - don't know how, don't want to learn. LOL. The thing is my computers at home are windows xp and have office 97 on them - with the firefox and the juno. The computers at work have windows 2000 with office 2000 the firefox and the juno. That's why I assumed it was either the windows or office program.... -- chris k, 06:16:22 02/15/07 Thu [1]
