Opening Word documents with Lubuntu

[Steven Duckworth]

I am having difficulty opening Word documents which have been downloaded as
Gmail attachments. Using Firefox browser I choose "save" to downloads, and
when I go to "downloads" in Lubuntu I can't open the doc. If I right-click
it will say "open with Firefox" and a web window opens with an unreadable
(encoded) document tree.
Can someone please show me a simple way to open such docs in Abiword, for
example?

Thanks,
Steve
