I just downloaded a document from my bank that has the extension ".asp".
How do I open it without losing its formatting using NeoOffice? |

What does your bank say about what kind of file this is and/or what kind of application should be able to open it? |

ASP stands for Active Server Pages...it's a Microsoft web server scripting language. If you're downloading it and it didn't change the extension, most likely it is HTML that you're probably best off opening in Safari (or dump an ".html" extension on the file and try opening it in Writer). If it's not HTML then your bank's web developer has something screwy going on with his mime types

...or his content-disposition headers; I've heard of some cases where banks let you download .csv or .xls files, and because of poor content-disposition headers, the files get saved as "downloadthisfilepage.asp" instead of "your bank info file.csv" or the like....
