oprninh 2003 docs in 07

Hello,
I just installed Office 2007 through my University. Everything works well
except when I get an email with a "doc" attachment. After I click download
attachement, I get a message stating that the file is " not a valid Win32
document. The only way I get get into it is to save it, open up word and then
open the file directly through word. Can somebody please provide me with some
suggestions as to how to fix this problem.
Thanks

Office 2007 Enterprise by any chance? If it is then contact the IT person that is responsible for the Volume License
version of your Office Suite from where you procured it. They are the ones that are able to help you with that version.

Your file associations might be messed up. Right-click the document,
and select "Open with", and be sure to check "always use this program
to open the file".

If that doesn't work, Start Menu>Default Programs>Associate a file type
with a Program
Scroll down to .doc and change the association.

If that doesn't work, go into the Start Menu and under "All programs'
find Microsoft Office>Microsoft Office Tools>Microsoft Office Diagnostics

If that doesn't work, reinstall Office.

I recommend you reinstall Microsoft Office 2007, sounds like a corrupt or
simple bad install.
