Title: Preventing Office Documents from Opening Inside the Browser Window

In some cases, you may not want Word, Excel, or PowerPoint attachments or shared files to open inside the browser. In order to have the actual application open instead, follow these steps.

Go to the Windows Explorer (what you use to browse local files and folders like My Documents).



Select "Folder Options..." from the "Tools" menu:



Select the "File Types" tab and select "DOC - Microsoft Word Document".



Click the "Advanced" button.



Un-check the "Browse in same window" checkbox.



You can repeat these instructions for each Office file type.
