I'm on an older mac & have similar problems. 4 me, it's 'docx' from Aly that download & show as an icon on my desktop, but I can't open it. With them, or PDFs, I can then use a free conversion site to change it into a regular doc. It apparently still uploads successfully to the site from my desktop, even tho I can't open it. It doesn't always work great...but it usually does render it readable 4 me. I've been using http://www.zamzar.com/ for this.
If it comes back (particularly PDFs) askellankyledescribes, 'wonky'...I can usually fix it once it's a .doc pretty much w/stuff like 'wrap to window' & w/ 'select all', under format > 'font' scroll to 'Kern' & click on 'use default' (when the letters seem scrunched together or under 'spacing' click on 'single' if the lines seem scrunched together)
