Simple question I think. How can I change my attachment settings so I can
open them using word, excel, etc. Currently it defaults to a text file that I
can not open to view the attachment.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003/2007 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/new...ternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!

maybe a simple question, but i don't understand what you mean...
if you have a .xls file attached, it will open with excel. if it's a .doc it
will open with word. and so on... i really don't understand what you want to
do?
