Hi

I've been trying to open a file from the NHS public website which ends .doc
(says the type is doc_auto_file) without success.

When I click to open or save a message comes up saying "Internet Explorer
wants to open web content - NAME - Windows Wordpad Application / Publisher -
Microsoft Windows" & get to choice to allow or not allow. When I click on
"allow" all that comes up in the document is a random selection of
letters/numbers/symbols.

Can anyone please advise on a way round this on vista (without resulting to
getting rid of it!!) - I have Microsoft Office Word 2007 already installed on
my computer as thought that would enable to open these documents.

Hope someone can help
