Weird Opening Document
I can certainly do a "save" before opening if that's safer. Just don't
understand why saving it first makes it safer to open.

It is not really a good idea to directly open documents as attachments to
email messages. Better to first save the attachment and then open it.

But I have opened other .doc email attachments that do not launch Word
2003.

My guess: Because the file extension was .doc and the default file
format in Word 2007 is .docx

Using Windows XP and Office 2007
I just received a Word 2003 document as an email attachment. When I
opened the attachment, it launched Word 2003 on my system. Although
Office 2003 still resides on my system, I am using Office 2007. I
have received 2003 Word documents as email attachments before, and when
I open the attachment it always launches Word 2007.
Any idea what would cause an email attachment to launch Word 2003 this
time???
