# Rendering .docx as .htm?

 * Using Internet Explorer, my .docx files are being treated as though they are .
   htm files. Clicking on a .docx file to download will open up a new page and try
   to render the file in the browser. And when I say render, I mean that it just
   spits out garbage. Trying to right-click the file and “Save Target As” also tries
   to save the file as a .htm. Which is weird because the link is most certainly
   pointing to a .docx. Firefox and Chrome seem to work on both Mac and PC. Any 
   ideas would be appreciated.
