I'm trying to download a RTF file from a website. I used to get a box asking me if I would like to save or open the document and I always used to select Save and then choose the location. Now, however, I am not getting such a prompt and Word 97 opens directly with errors saying that the file could not be opened.

Could anybody please tell me how to get the dialog prompt back??

Thanks to the both of you for the advice.

Unfortunately I'm still getting the same problem.
