Can't open office documents from my emails until word is openned f
When I try to open a word document or excel spreadsheet that is saved as an attachement to an email, I get the message: Windows cannot find ‘c:/users/mona/appdata/local\microsoft\windows\temporary internet files\low\content.IE5\SB2EHHFL\xxx[1].xls\’ Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. If I open Word or Excel before clicking on the attachement to open it, then it works. This problem only happens when using my laptop which is running Windows Vista and office 2007. I do not have any problems with this on our desktop which is running XP and office 2003.

Word is actually doing you a favor, because if you edit a document that you opened directly from an attachment and then save, the edits will usually disappear. See http://www.gmayor.com/outlook_attachments.htm. You should always save the attachment as a real document in a real folder, and then open that document. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

doc attachments won't open
I have Word 2007 and when someone sends a *.doc attachment it won't open. If you copy it to the desktop or somewhere else, it opens fine. I did check default programs and Word is set to open .doc files Opening an attachment without saving it first is asking for trouble. Any editing you do to it won't be saved, since it's just sitting in a temporary folder that gets deleted when you exit Word.

Out of Office with default forwarding
I have a client running SBS 2003. Some of their staff have all their mail forwarded to an external mail account, but still want to enable the Out of Office Assistant when on leave. For some of these users with forwarded mail boxes the assistant works correctly, for other it will not work at all. I have compared the settings of users that it works for against those that it doesn't and can find no differences. Its almost as if for some users the forwarding rule executes before the Out of Office rule, for others the sequence is reversed. Any way of controlling this to make sure the Out...
Macro to open all files in one particular directory
Hi, I would like to be able to have a macro that would automatically open ALL the files in one particular directory.

Automatic Email Address for "Notes"
Hi there - I have a user who regularly sends "notes" to a public folder and cc's me. I'm not sure what happened, but recently, when she types in the start of the e-mail/note address, she gets two names. They both then get hung up in the MTA and get bounced back to her. I was trying to delete the wrong one by highlighting it and it still didn't work. I retyped the correct SMTP address that I was able to find and when I use that, it works.

Word 2007: Create a referenced date control with a default date
I am trying to do the following for a client: A template for a letter has a locked (grouped, but not protected) section on the first page containing content controls for name, address and date.
