Sounds like you don't have the application in which the manual was written.
What is the extension of the downloaded file?

Well presumably you downloaded a file or document to open? It would normally
have been in the format of filename.ext - the "ext" will tell you what
application you need to open it.

Hi again Gordon, it says its a pdf file? Does this make a difference. It
automatically opens in excel then.

You need to download and install acrobat reader

For a much smaller and waaaaaaaaaaaaay faster pdf viewer I prefer Foxit Reader
over Acrobat Reader.
