23.11 Application files in email or web browser windows

Again, just say no. Save these files to your My Documents folder by right-mousing, then using a Save As dialog. Once the files are sitting on your computer, you can open them in their native application (or at least, Acrobat Reader). You will get more printing options, more viewing options, more editing options (on editable files), and a ton more stability if you don’t view application files through GroupWise or a Web Browser. This is easy to do once you get used to it, and honestly, it works a lot better. (Because of how our public computers are configured, it’s less of a “slam-dunk” on those stations – using the in-browser viewer may be the best choice there).
