Those are Word files. Is MS Word installed? If it is:

Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose
Program. Find and choose a program that works, (MS Word), and then check the
box: Always use this program to open this kind of file. This should enable
you to open these attachments in the future.

If Word is not installed:

MS Word 2007 Viewer:

Thanks Bruce ,
That's what I was looking for .

What Bruce said, and/or you may want to associate it with wordpad
(securitywise - since it is from e-mail).

I always try to get the viewers for such things.

I quote "After installing all High-Priority/Required updates with
Microsoft Update, download the Compatibility Pack by clicking the
Download button above and saving the file to your hard disk."

But there ain't bin no such button on the page!
