23. I am using Outlook 2007 and using a current version of MS Excel & word. I followed the directions, which seemed like they were going to work, although not exactly the same issue I am having. When I click onto an excel worksheet in an email, Excel starts up but then I get “the file is corrupt and cannot be opened.” Do you have a fix for this?

    I did shut down Outlook before trying again.

    Sorry for posting again, but I did want to mention that if I save the excel doc to my computer, it opens.

73. A massive thank you. I have been plagued with the problem of not being able to open a particular pdf doc sent to me regularly by my employer. I have had to use a different laptop every time!
    Various people have tried to fathom the problem including clients for whom I work who are supposedly experts.
    I followed your instructions and it now opens normally. Really pleased!
    Finally a real expert!

74. Now the attachments are accessible. Thank you very much!
