Which version of Office are you using? If it's not 2007, it's possible you
need to download and install the compatibility pack.

If you sign into the communities and then click the link again, you should
see the complete page.

What free apps are you talking about? The compat pack is free, but we don't
know that that really is your problem because you didn't mention which
version of Office you're using. Did you read the link to the information on
repairing broken file associations?

Do you get an error message when you try to open the files?
