Chris, you can't use news reader to actually open the attachment. You have to save the attachment, unopened, into a folder on your hard drive, then use windows explorer to find the folder with the attachment in it. Now arrow down to the file you want, but don't open it. Do a context menu or right mouse click and arrow down to read using news reader and hit enter. The news reader will then convert the file to HTML so that all the articles are in links which you can get to in the usual way with the tab key. Hope this makes some sort of sense. Cheers, Sandra. ** To leave the list, send a message to:- ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
