Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. Use to be able to open word documents, upgraded to Explorer 9 and now can only open pdf files. Is there a setting I need to change?
 
Explorer is your web browser, word documents use a word processor like Microsoft Word. If you don't have a word processor, you can download a free one at www.openoffice.org

I have MS Word 2007 on my machine. I was able to open docs before I loaded Windows Update to include IE 9. I was opening docs a week ago and now they will not open. I can open docs that are in my saved files, just not the on CS. I am sure it is a pc issue, just not sure what it is.
 
Found this with Google:http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=58955b829222e93d&hl=en(I know it says GMail, but the instructions might solve your problem)
 
Have you tried saving the CS doc to your computer and then opening it? Sometimes that works too.

Thank you. I will try the google download guidance.

.doc will not allow me to save until I open the document, but it was a great idea.

still not working. I will keep trying.
 
I hate Explorer...try using Firefox instead! In my opinion, IE is incredibly unpredictible. I haven't used it in years.

You can also try renaming the file or converting it to a different file format.
