Mac Office v.10 WORD X 10.1.7 and EXCEL X 10.1.6 FLASH AND CRASH on Opening!

Hi Victoria:

As Diane says, save the file out of your email before trying to open it.

Opening files from within email is just not safe: your antivirus has not had
a chance to check it out.

And sad to say, Universities are perhaps the most dangerous computing
environments there are! You have all sorts of people in the Computer
Science department playing with the latest viruses. And sometimes, a little
knowledge is a dangerous thing...

I would always be extremely suspicious of any file that came from a
University :-)

Cheers

I am on a PowerPC G4, using X v.10.4.10. after I tried to open an
attachment in Excel to an email the identity screen would flash and
then crash! The same thing happened when i tried to open a document
in Word that is-stored on the desktop. the attachment should have
been safe as it is class material and came from the Prof.

Any suggestions please as to what to do?

thank you,
Victoria

I neglected to mention one other possible option: The originator of the file
may be able to Save As in .doc or .rtf format & provide you with a
replacement - it depends on what version of Works they have.

Thank you, I will try these things on Mon when I get back to the work
macbook. I thought my mac update program would keep things current,
but I'll check that first. Not sure if it matters, but when I (thru
work) got the new macbook the Apple Store transfered all the info from
the Mac G4 that was dying including the prior version of office (2000
I think) and then added the new version of 2004, but there have been
'glitches' that I don't understand, there is always an 'unexpected
error' with the library, but I just click OK and continue on. that's
what they said at the mac store that I shouldn't worry about it. Also
one of the programs doesn't work at all, entourage, but I never use
it, just the work and PP. Should I be concerned about this?
I'll try your suggestions and post the results, hopefully sometime
Mon. thanks for your help.
