what is the extension of the attachment? if the file is filename.xls and it opens as a word document, then the extension has been associated with word and will have a word icon instead of en excel icon. you can either change the association or you can save the file to disk, launch excel and open the file with excel. To change the association, open your my documents folder, then open the folder options dialog on the tools menu. in the file types tab select the file extention you wish to open using Excel and in the details box select change where it says "opens with"

i ususally fix this with an office repair but you'll need the installation cd handy.
Control Panel/Add-Remove Programs/Office/pick remove if you dont see the repair option. you should get repair option on next screen. or you can manually fix file associations as posted.
why wonky suddenly? you have other symptoms or just this one?
