The problem with this approach is that you have to be excruciatingly careful. It is correct but I was never able to accomplish it that way. But I know some are able to do it and that's great! It is not the only way that works though. On Oct 28, 2013, at 11:02 PM, Ray Foret Jr wrote: > Solved

You should always be able to save with save attachments in the file menu even if you can't open it. Be sure to go down below "save" to "save attachments". As for opening rather than saving, if you interact with the text and move very slowly, you can often, but not always, get on the attachment.
