What exactly is happening when you try? Nothing at all? An error message? What happens if you right click and save the attachment somewhere locally and then try and open it through Windows Explorer?

word opens but it waits for document to open, but nothing happens. I have resortrd to using open office to read documents

Try this:

1. Browse to the following location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 12
2. Locate the file winword.exe or winword
3. Right click on the file and then select the Properties option
4. Click on the Compatibility tab
5. Uncheck the ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and ‘Run this program as an administrator’ options > Apply > OK
