If I open the document, I only get a load of 'gobbly' writing! I can pick out the written content if I look hard enough, but any pictures that are supposed to be there are just in writing and lost to me! Any of you guys know the answer to this problem please? ATT means its an attachment... and ATT41DF is just the name of the file(s) that your friends sent you.
