look for a wordpad document on your computer\nright click, select properties \non the general tab you will see opens with , click on change..\nselect microsoft word if it's in the list, if not than just browse and select it somewhere in program files folder , look for the application with the exe extension\nNot knowing something it's OK you cant be born with all the knowledge on this planet like the guy above . Don't worry you doing good and asking a question doesn't hurt anyone

If you don't have "Word,"  you can't resend the\nthe file as Word.\nTell your friend to "right click" on your "Works"\nfile.\nGo down the menu to "open with"\nthen, choose "Word" and double click.

If the other answer didn't work then check that you have a program installed and associated with the type of attachment you want to open.\n\nEach attachment needs a certain program to open. Each file has a 3 letter extenstion which is associated to a a program on your pc if the pc has a program register for that extenstion that is. If there is no program installed to view that extenstion it won't work. Check the 3 letters at the end of the attachement (somthing.ext) where something is the filename and .ext is the extention Search  the extenstion in Yahoo and see if that helps.\n\nSome common extenstions for which you might not have a program installed\n.DOC = Microsoft word ( open office.org will open them as well)\n.PPS or PPT - MS Powerpoint\n.XLS = MS Excel\n.RAR = Winrar

You can use Notepad, Wordpad, Microsoft Word, or any other word processor.  You then just simply save your work as "Readme.txt"

is the file a wordpad file, or a m.s. word, or works file? If the file they are sending is not a wordpad file, and you are trying to open it using wordpad, sorry it's not going to work~ not compatible.

No.  Microsoft Word is not free.\n\nIt's possible that you can open the document with Wordpad.  The very basic word processor that comes with Windows.  I'm not sure if you need to have Word installed before Microsoft will allow you to do it.\n\nIf you want to try, there are two ways:\n1.) Right click on the file icon.  Chose the option that says Open With.  Then look for and choose Wordpad from the list of programs that is displayed.\n2.) Open Wordpad.  This is usually in Start Menu > Programs > Accessories.  Then click File > Open.  Change the drop down menu saying "Files of type:" to show "All Files".  Then find the file you are trying to open.\n\nOtherwise, you can find a free "office suite" at:\nhttp://www.openoffice.org\n\nOr you can use the less expensive Star Office:\nhttp://www.sun.com/software/star/staroffice/index.jsp\n\nBoth of these will display slightly differently than Microsoft Word/Office will.  However, if you just want to read a document, it will probably not be a problem.

If you do not have MS Office, MS Word, or any other software that uses the '.doc' format, you will not be able to view files of that format.  Most likely, this format will not be available in the drop-down box mentioned above, either.\nAlternatively, you should still be able to save the files as a valid .doc file by typing quotations around the full file name in the 'file name' section of the Save screen.\n\nFor example, if you have a document titled 'example' and you want it saved as a .doc file, but have no other option of saving it as such...in the 'file name' box simply type the following:\n"example.doc"\nwith the quotation marks.\n\nIn order to view the file, however, you will have to have the necessary software installed on your system.  The extension has to be assigned to a valid program such as MS Word or WordPad I believe views .doc files, as well - though some of the advanced formatting available in MSWord will be lost when viewed with WordPad.\n\n***RESPONSE TO ADDITIONAL DETAILS***\nDid you try putting the quotation marks around the file name...such as\n"example.doc"\n\nWhen you add the quotations, it will save the file in the format specified regardless of what is in the "save as" box.\n\nAlso, open any folder (such as 'My Documents', for example) and go to Tools - Folder Options.  Click the 'File Types' tab and scroll down the list of file types until you find 'DOC'.  If you find it, down near the bottom where it says 'Opens with...' click 'Change' and browse for the program you prefer.\n\nIf you can't find it, click 'New', and in the top box, type\nDOC\nthen click 'Okay'.  Find DOC in the list, then follow the instructions above to select the appropriate program for it.

you send it as an attachment to an email

It really depends on what you use for email, but there should be a "Attach file" or similarly named button. You just hit that button and browse to the file you want to attach. It may not be a problem on your end, some web based emails don't let you receive attachments, or only let you receive attachments below a certain file size.

Have a look at this forum posting: http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=123979 \nQuote: Word will open it, just change the file type like I mentioned above. Unquote.

I've never been able to do what you are asking and I spent a good amount of time researching it.  I ended up paying for Yahoo mail and using Outlook.  I digress, you should have the option under your right click menu to Email With Yahoo!.  Once I navigate to the Yahoo attachment page it shows the location of the files as a text right above the browse button.  I simply copy and paste that into the box.  It shortens the process and works good.

If you do that, it would be illegal.  I use OpenOffice, it's completely free and will open, edit and save as MS Word format.
