H.A.N.S Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Emailed a document to myself from Open Office to print off at the library. However since they don't have this programme I have silly selected something like open using wordpad. Now the thing makes no sense at all when I view it. When I go back to the email to open it automatically chooses word pad too. Is there anyway I can get my original document to print or am I goosed?

If you right click on the files there should be an 'open with' option, that will let you chose another program to open the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rand Paul's Ray Bans Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Also will depend on what format you saved your document as. RTF is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
