Norm,  If you try to open it from within the e-mail message, what happens?
If you're using Outlook, you should be prompted either to save it to disk or
open it.

Walt,

I have MS Word installed, but I cannot open this .htm file in MS Word. I
think it has something to do with the "active content" problem. 
If I try to open this file in Kurzweil I get an error message that Kurzweil
has encountered a problem and has to close...

It's frustrating because from "My Computer" I can click on the file and it
opens just find and I can read it. It has headings marking sections and
chapters. I was hoping to transfer it to the bookport in such a way to
preserve the navigation marks. I assume I would have to open it in Kurzweil
and then save it as a Daisy file, but... I can't seem to open it anywhere
but on my computer with "My computer".

When I do that, it seems to open it with Internet Explorer.

 Thanks for your help...

        think that in order for .htm or .html files to work on the BP, you
need to 
        have Word installed.

        List,
        
        I received an .htm file as an attachment to an email. When I try to
        transfer it to the bookport, I get the error message: ffdoc: can't
        open <filename>.htm.
        
        I thought .htm files worked okay on the bookport. Any suggestions?
