Downloading Office Documents on a Mac from Avenue
Every time I download an office document from avenue on my mac it just opens a folder and I can't open the file. Anyone else have this problem or have a solution?

By 'office document', do you mean word, excel, etc?
If so, then I haven't had those problems...is it for one class in particular? Or every class? If it's just one, it might be issues with the prof's formatting.

Is the file downloading and when you click on it, it opens a folder?

Is the file have the extension .docx, or something else ending with x?

Are you using Office for Mac?

Then you need the Open XML converter for Mac, its available from MS here:
