Ashburn, GA, (very close to Heaven!)
Go to Microsoft web site, download and install the Word Viewer application.

She will have to then download the attachment, putting it in "My Documents", "Desktop", whereever, but she must know where she puts it.

Next, browse to the folder (again, "My Documents", "Desktop", wherever) where the attachment was downloaded.

Find the downloaded attachment and select it by SINGLE CLICKING ON IT.

With the file selected, RIGHT CLICK, and look for the "OPEN WITH" option.

Left click on the "OPEN WITH" option.

Left click on the last option, "CHOOSE DEFAULT PROGRAM".

A pop up window appears with suggested programs. The Word Viewer application may show up here; if it does not, you will have to browse to the folder where it is installed and find the Executable program file and select it. IMPORTANT: there is a box with an option to check to ALWAYS USE THIS PROGRAM to open files of this type. If you check that box, she should not have any problems in the future, just clicking on the attachment should open it.
