Are these files that you clicked on through the internet and want to open them up with Word Briggs?

This was something sent to me from my lawyer that came in an attachment through e-mail. I try to open and it says to close dialogue boxes? nothing is open???

When in doubt, reboot and try again.

But make sure you save whatever needs saving before you reboot.

did ur lawyer tell u to open that attachment? sometimes random attachments hitch a ride w/emails that aren't intended to be sent... it could be a virus or trojan horse file, so be careful opening it if you don't know what it is.

what's the extension of the file in question? usually only .txt, .dot, .rtf, .doc, .htm, .dic & .wpd files are meant to be opened in Word.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

As TMS just said.. if you're lawyer MEANT to send you this attachment then its safe to proceed but if he didn't then DO NOT try opening it, it could be a virus. Sometimes these appear at the bottom of emails, so only open the attachment if you KNOW he meant to send you this.

If he DID mean for you to have this, then I would just click the attachment and instead of opening with Word, I would save the file to your desktop and then open it from your desktop. See if that works.
