I don't know if this is relevant, but I find it a problem to click on
attachments if the message format is rich text.
What I do is hit alt-shift-O (the letter, not the number), then arrow up to
'plain text' and hit enter.
That's probably where the 'ok' comes from. Anyway, I hit ok to change the
encoding, and hit tab to get into the attachment field and hit tab on the
file.
Another way to get to the attachments is to go into the File menu and hit
'save all attachments'. You then specify a folder to send the attachments to
and open them up in WORD.

Subject: OT - Word Attachments in Outlook 2003
Hi All:
I had someone ask me yesterday about this so I'm posting it here. When using Outlook 2003, if you try opening a MS Word attachment from within a message, it opens it up in a read only mode that JFW cannot handle. While one can fix this by hitting "OK" on the box that comes up, then going to the view menu and selecting "normal view," the person who asked me about this wants to know if there is any way to change Outlook's default behavior so that word attachments are opened up in another view such as normal or print view. Does anyone know if this behavior can be changed and how to do it?
Thanks,
