Hi,
Thanks for that. I have been playing around today and finally managed to get
it to open. When i originally right clicked on the file the only options to
open with were Office 2007 and Wordpad. After fiddling, not sure what i did,
it gave another option, microsoft office word, and after clicking on that it
worked.
Thanks for your help
