Peter,
I don't have Word 98, however this should work.
Find one of your Word documents in the Finder - perhaps on your
desktop, or in your Documents folder.
In the Finder, select it the file, choose File, Get Info (or use Cmd
I). Go to the Open With section, and make sure Microsoft Word is set
up to open all documents like this. Use the Change All... button to
make it the default.
This type of file should now open with Microsoft Word, whether from
Mail or any other app.

Dear Members,
I have bought a new 20" imac.
I have used for years an imac of 2000 vintage.
Various invoice document are in Word 98 for mac on the 2000 mac,
and I used Outlook Express as my email program and had no trouble
with attachments when I sent emails to clients.
Now I find that my email program Mac Mail and transfered documents
are not attaching.
How do I get the Office 98 word document into Office 2004 word and
attach it to an email ?
When I presently do an attachment to an email and then send the
email to myself the attachment does not open when clicked, and I
get a message indicating that the attachment will not open so I
have to go to the word program to open the attachment.
What am I doing wrong ?
Before in Office 98 and Outlook express the attachment would open
automatically when clicked.
Is there anyone out there who can help via an email or phone me on
9341 2165 assistance via the phone.
