???Often when I receive a Word attachment to an email (I use OE), open it and ATTEMPT to print it from Word, the document locks up and the BORDER of the Word window flashes. The only way out is "End Task". I am able to print directly from right clicking on the attachment line in OE. And sometimes I can open the attachment in Word, select all, copy and paste to a new document and then print. What could be LOCKING up Word in this case and can I do anything to correct this?
I'm using Word 2000, WIN XP Home, IE/OE 6, FYI.HI That version of word dose work too well with Windows XP you may need to get a later one like 2002 0r 2003Thanks but this was happening when I ran 98SE. So I don't think it's an XP problem.What if you save the attachment before opening it? Do you get the same results?

If you open it directly in OE, OE creates a copy in your temp folder and OPENS that. It could be that your temp folder(s) need to be cleared out. Remember that XP has a minimum of 2 temp folders and if you upgraded from 98 then probably 3 at least.
