In Case of Problems Viewing *.doc Files

The doc file viewer, wordview, can be downloaded free from Microsoft or you can use MS Word if you have it. Wordview can be found in the Microsoft download area. You should be able to configure your web browser to automatically open all *.doc files using Word or Wordview. In some web browsers, there seems to be a problem automatically opening a *.doc file using the viewer. When this happens you will see a lot of strange characters mixed in with the document's text. If that happens, here is a workaround:

1. Instead of clicking on the blue link for the file using the left mouse key, try using the right mouse key. On many of the browsers, this gives you a menu which will let you save to a file instead of displaying the text in your browser. Use this to save the file locally on your disk.
2. Manually start MS Word or the free Wordview and open the local file. You will then see the document with the correct viewer.
