| 31897 | 2002-01-20 00:11:00 | What are the extensions of the attachments? If you don't have extensions showing go to Windows Explorer, View, Folder Options, View and uncheck 'Hide file extensions for known file types'. All programs save their files in a way that only the program or a 'reader' program of the same type can open. For example, Adobe Acrobat will save files with a .pdf extension. To make the file accessible to the masses they created Adobe Acrobat Reader which is available free. Pictures can be saved in the native format to the program (eg Adobe Photoshop saves files as .psd - to open it you need Photoshop)or exported to another format such as .gif or .jpg which a number of programs such as a browser or Paint will open. Dad has an older version of Word (which won't open files created in newer versions) so he downloaded a free Word Reader (rather than spend money to upgrade) to overcome the problem. So... which extensions cause the trouble? Someone may be able to point you in the direction of a reader. |
