Opening word docs -- blocked content??? It's my own doc!

I originally posted this in the Word forum, but after some testing, I have found this an entourage issue, not a Word issue.

I am trying to make the transition from Windows to Mac for work (already use Mac at home). Today I created a word doc in Word for Mac 2008, with the latest updates. I saved it to a .doc instead of .docx, because I don't know what my customers are using.

I copied myself on the e-mail. When the e-mail went out, I tried to open the attachment, just to verify, and I can't because it says it won't open for security reasons???

It had a "click for more info" link on the error message, which I need, but the info was no help. It essentially said to save the doc as a docx!

What is going on here? I can't open a doc that I wrote myself just because I back-saved it in an old version? Will my customers be able to open this?

OK. Find the solution. Makes a lot more sense now. It was that the message was only partially downloaded. Funny thing is, I couldn't find the solution by searching in this forum. I found the solution in this forum, but by searching from Google. Go figure.

Would delete this thread if I could. I still have other entourage issues, but at least this one is settled.
