Unable to Open an attachment

When I try to open this attachment the box comes up and say "This file does
not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an
association in the Set Association Control Panel." The attachment says it is
a WPD file. Would appreciate any help...

Re: Unable to Open an attachment

Did you Google on 'WPD file'? It would have told you, that is a WordPerfect
file. Unless you have WordPerfect installed, you can't open that file.
I'm not sure if Open Office will handle it: http://www.openoffice.org

Thanks. No, I don't have Word Perfect so I guess I will do without it.
