| | Opening MS Office files attached to mail I am having problems opening MS Office attachments in Windows Mail. When I click on them Mail goes into a Not Responding state. Other attachments open OK. I have looked at the file associations and they look fine. Double clicking saved files opens them with no problem. Can anyone suggest an action to fix this? -- Thanks, George |
