Default Attachment won't open in Wordpad

I've just learned it may be too large to open in Wordpad.
So, how do I get the attachment into Word, or wherever,
when the 'box' won't let me change the file extension???
I'm truly not computer "literate", as you may see. Any
and all help appreciated.

What is the file extension of the document you are having a problem opening?

I am also having problems opening Anything with
Wordpad. .log is one of them, but really, nothing will
open. Is there a way of downloading it again, or some kind
of fix? Thank you. David

Wordpad does not open "Anything".
Please supply an exact URL of this .log file and someone may check it
out.

Some files are not meant to be opened with Wordpad--you have to be more
precise in your description of the problem.
