Re: Downloading problem

[Peter Harris]

Dave,
I must say that I am surprised someone actually replied to my email.

I have followed your instructions to the tee and I still get the Note
format and not the .ott. I even tried to reboot to see if that made
a difference.

Any other suggestions?

Thank you,

I don't know what you are doing wrong, but I had no trouble downloading
 the attached template (assuming that the list filter allows it through).

I had some off-list communication with the OP (not subscribed) and the
issue is a Windows file association problem. The clue was in his
original post: "formatted in a Notebook style." which eventually
translated into "Opens in Windows Notepad", but I didn't get it at first.

Hopefully, my reply helped resolve his issue.
