I have XP Pro, MS Office 2003 and use Yahoo mail. When I try to open a Word or Excel attachment from Yahoo mail, nothing happens if I don’t already have the corresponding program (Word or Excel) open. I can save the attachment and then open it, or I can open Word or Excel first and then choose the “Open” option after downloading the attachment, but Word and Excel won’t automatically open when I choose “Open”. I have verified that in “My Computer” “Tools” “Folder Options” “File Types” the program associations are correct. This is just an irritation, but it used to work and now it doesn’t. I can’t seem to find an answer – help!
