Thank you for clearing that up, as I wasn't sure if the step of
saving to the Google Drive was necessary, or not.

So, it seems that the "open in safari", from what you said, creates
only a "temporary" copy, which, perhaps, is why it's a bit flaky
in that a good portion of the time it opens in Safari, while another
good portion of the time, the Google log in web page appears instead.

I have provided this information to the person who had asked me, 
so, it's fine now, and even I can use it as I do a LOT of reviewing
of kids' college papers lately in my family.

Thanks for your kind help.
Almost always, we find a way to do what may not be obvious, but which
is useful to know how to do.

Opening a word document attachment from Gmail to Word is one of those
things that isn't obvious how to do; but it's useful to know how.
