Opening a doc from the web
A problem has arisen for one of my friends (He runs Vista and IE with MS Works). Works claims not to be able to open a straightforward Word doc from the web due to 'file format' issues. I do not want to take him down the line of installing the MS Plugins etc for Works.
I am directing him to Open Office, but for my information, can someone tell me how one 'sets' the programme for web opening of docs - is it simply done through 'Folder Options/File Types' or is there some other setting (I cannot find?) and is the setting required simply the 'generic' open with for .doc files as I cannot see any reference there to .doc files served from the web. Firefox gives me the choice of opening prog but IE does not.
