You mean a .doc file? If so then it's the expected behavior since Opera can't handle .doc files

The HTML for the page? Does it happen when you try to open links from other programs?

PS(this a random question but I thought the benefit of forums is that multiple people can help you so why is that you have been the only one trying to help me so far?)
