.dot is a word template. Try opening it in Microsoft Word.

can you right click on the attachment and then choose `save target as` and then save the file in your docs as a word document?

Is it on all attachments or just one? If it's just one, it's probably worth checking with the sender what type of file they have sent you.

Hi
If you haven`t got Microsoft Word or Office on your computer you can download for FREE Open Office which will open all documents, save all documents, in whatever format you want Best of all is not paying Bill Gates any money to get it
