Run the Desktop Manager App Loader and check the box for BlackBerry Attachment Service. Once it's installed, you can open attachments in emails, as long as they are in a supported format: doc, xls, ppt, wordperfect, pdf, ascii, html, jpg, bmp, gif, png, and tiff, and the zip'd versions of these.
Not trying to hijack this but when you download the document from the email, where does it save it too? How do I locate that file on my bb while using the phone? I'm newer to bb and couldn't find anything that shows where I can open folders? Also any way to protect a email from getting deleted?
I cannot find the answer anywhere. And this is actually for a Tour but this is the closest thread to what I am looking for. I received an xls attachment in an e-mail. How do I SAVE it to my BB (either on board or media card) to be able to view it in the future? I think I can do it for jpegs but not for XLS.
Open the email, press Menu, and select Download Attachment, then select the location where you want it stored. You won't be able to view it without installing Docs To Go. The basic version is available free. Google Documents To Go or dataviz (the developer) to find the free download.

Docs To Go doesn't have anything to do with your ability to save an attachment. You do need the paid version if you are going to create new files, but you can always open an existing file and save it as a new name.

Well that is what is interesting. I don't have the ability to save it after opening. I am using version 1 of D2G that came with my Tour (or maybe with the Sprint version 5 I just installed).
