You'll need a file converter for your version of office to open it (in Microsoft word, etc.) http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/downloads.mspx ----- Original Message ----- From: "niall fitzpatrick" <nfitzrick@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, November 02, 2008 9:14 PM Subject: [vip_students] Problem opening attachments Hi all I received an e-mail from someone this evening and I cant open the attachment. The attachment is called under16.wps. I know the person who is sending this and I know that the attachment is something I am looking for and is safe. When I try and open it I get an option to open with a lot of different programs. I have tried a few but it opens up just reading like a load of symbols. Any ideas? Regards Niall Fitzpatrick
