Title: Need Help with opening email attachments. Post by: The_nun on January 23, 2010, 12:19:06 PM Leeds hossy like to converse via email rather than post. They have sent me some emails and most of it has just opened in complete jargon. This happened when Boston sent some too but Laxie opened them and then forwarded them ones to me, but i really need to sort this error out as there will be a lot of correspondence being done this way. I use hotmail and a windows vista laptop.
Any ideas. PS i can open attachments sent from other contacts. Title: Re: Need Help with opening email attachments. Post by: Bongo on January 23, 2010, 12:35:23 PM What type of files are they?
I'm thinking they are newer versions of office than you have, in which case you can get a (free) converter. Title: Re: Need Help with opening email attachments. Post by: The_nun on January 23, 2010, 01:05:13 PM Shall i forward the email then you will know as I am useless with these things?

Title: Re: Need Help with opening email attachments. Post by: Bongo on January 23, 2010, 04:18:11 PM I don't know why open office wouldn't open the file, any one got any ideas why? (Seems like a standard doc to me).
In the meantime I've opened the file and resaved it in rtf format - which can be opened by wordpad (the free word processor that comes with windoes) if nothing else.

(Seems like a standard doc to me). maybe need to change the default program associated with the extension type? ? ? Title: Re: Need Help with opening email attachments.
