Attachements that were sent in word look like Notepad, and
will not open on my ME machine. They might be too large.
Other problems with opening similar files, even if not
notepad. Any suggestions?

Use WordPad instead if you haven't got Word available. You also have the
option to download the "free" Word viewer. You'll locate it at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx?
in the most common requested files section.

If you do have Word installed and you need to change the association
between a document extension and the application used to open it, use
Windows Explorer's Tools menu / Folder options / File Types tab to modify
the defaults for that particular document extension.
