Why can't I open older Word attachments in an IE 6.0
browser? Word 2003 attachments seem to open fine, but
any older Word documents require that I first save them
to my desktop and then open them from there. When I
click the "open" button I get a message "This file could
not be found (C:\...\filename[1].doc)". Why is this?
The other strange thing is that it works fine if I
already have Word 2003 active. Any ideas? Thanks much!
 
Do you have Norton Antivirus? If so, go to the Norton Program, Options,
Misc. and uncheck MS Office Plug-ins and try again.
This fixed a similar problem on my computer.
