text: email attachments. help please!!!? i need to view mine. they were created in word and i do not have any software on my computer besides my internet explorer and email (if that's software). i cant view them; i can't even seem to be able to save them anywhere. i need these so bad and i am completely computer stupid about any of this stuff.  please help!! thank you sooo much y'all!! download this software:  http://www.textpad.com  you can view pretty much anything using that software and its free. just click on the attachments and save them on your hard drive. then right click on the document and do open with and use textpad. it wont be a nice layout like word since you dont have word, but at least you can read the stuff in them.
