Ok, what I want to do is to be able to automatically open Word / Excel / powerpoint files after they have been downloaded. I have ticked the box saying "open safe" files. However, they only download + dont automatically open.

How can I sort this out??

Thanks

Well Office documents can have macro viruses and these do infect macs too, so they are not safe files.

I guess you are right. I could do with a box that pops up + says "do you want to open this file".
