I am using Microsoft Office 2007 and have all updates current on XP
Professional, when I receive an attachment as a word .doc or .docx in
Outlook, I cannot get the attachment to open.
I get a popup saying that I need XPS Essentials pack, I have downloaded this
and still nothing opens. Also rebooted after installing the pack.
Anyone have a clue as to what is happening? and how to correct it, should I
post in the word forum as well?
