Every attachment in my email and many of my files in Windows Explorer are converting from Word or Excel or Powerpoint to a web page. Even when I print and scan them in, they open as a web page, regardless of the extension. I now have a lot of documents where I have lost my formatting, which for my Excel files is a disaster.

Hi Melinda, can you still get the original files from your email? It sounds as though they might not have saved in the correct format when you downloaded them the first time.
