I can't avail myself of David's suggestion- 'Save File' is greyed out. Maybe because it's a jpg.?
My version of Open Office does not allow me to open docx. files. Update necessary?

I fancy that ifyou download docxreader.exe it will solve the problem - Peter's at least. Attachment refers.

(This often happens, and I now know how to ask friends to re-send using a different form, but don't want to have to write similarly to outside agencies). The following message appears when I try to open them 'This file does not have a programme associated with it for performing this action. Create an Association in the Folder Options Control Panel' I am still using Windows XP and cannot find the 'Options Control Panel'. I have tried all the folder files, and associated options but nothing seems to have anything to do with the required action! I think that at some stage I must get a more up-to-date computer, but am partly put off by the fact that as soon as one does that, they bring out a new programme.Shirley Stokes
