How do I open an attachment using keyboard?

My wrist is tired of using the mouse. Is there a keyboard command I can type

What version of Outlook? 2k7 gives some different features....

I have Outlook 2002.

Older than I remember, and i don't have it installed so.. lets see.

If you open the message, check the file menu. It might only allow you to
save the attachment from there, so... If there isn't anything there to allow
you to open the attachment, close and reopen and hit tab til you hit the
attachments. You should be able to arrow key through the attachments and
hit enter or use the context menu button key on your keyboard.

And, as an aside, I'd recommend looking at trackballs. Much easier on the
wrist.

Dear F. H.,
Thank you for your help. I will try that and look into the trackball. I was
out of the office the latter part of last week and I just got your message.
