I am running Office 2001 on OS X 3.3. How do I associate
all Windows Office (typically Word or Excel) e-mail
attachments(using a browser page in Safari) to my Office
program rather than Apple Works? Typically, I download
the file and click on it. This launches Apple Works and
opens the file. Perhaps, I have to refrain from clicking
on the file but rather browse to it with the office
component I want to use to view it? Thanks in advance for
your thoughts.

Save a Word document to the Desktop, and then go to File -> Get Info. Under
"Open With," select "Microsoft Word" under the Classic Applications header.
Then, click "Change All." Repeat the same process for a Microsoft Excel
file, instead choosing to open with Microsoft Excel.
