Opening a file in vista Spring 12/18/2008 3:44:03 PM I am trying to open a large document and I get the message - Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. I am trying to open a document - not link to a site. The sender PDF 'd and Zipped the file and sent it to me - but still got the same error. Thoughts?

Re: Opening a file in vista grammatim <grammatim[ at ]verizon.net> 12/19/2008 2:14:12 AM This is a Word newsgroup, so let's assume you want the file to open in Word. What happens if you start Word, and then try to open it using the Open command?

Re: Opening a file in vista Spring 12/19/2008 3:00:02 PM Yes - I am trying to FIRST, get it out of my email and save it - then open. I can't "save as" or "open" as I get that error message. So, I can't actually get to the file.

Re: Opening a file in vista grammatim <grammatim[ at ]verizon.net> 12/20/2008 12:54:42 AM Then this would be a question for a group dealing with your email program (Outlook?).

Re: Opening a file in vista CyberTaz <onlygeneraltaz1[ at ]com.cast.net> 12/20/2008 5:14:06 PM It sounds like what you've been sent is a *link* to a document on a website, not an attachment of the document itself. There could be any number of reasons why you're being prevented from downloading the file - including the possibility that the site is blocked by your IE security settings or may no longer even be in operation. But as grammatim suggested it has nothing to do with Word. Even if you didn't have trouble accessing the file location Word can't open PDF files in the first place. I'm not sure that even your email support will be able to help, especially if you're in a corporate network - you may have to confer with your IT people or possibly have the sender go about providing you with the document in a different manner.
