Theoretically, a Word file contains the description of a written document, possibly with pictures; but, in practice, a Word document can embed just about anything, including executable applications. Word also supports a complex system of macros, which are, by any reasonable definition, a programming language.
Thus, "opening" a Word document is quite akin to running a script. And, indeed, macro virus do exist. Even with macros disabled , some nifty attacks against anonymity can be performed with Word files. For instance, Word documents can be signed. Word will want to verify this signature, which means first validating some X. As such, a Word document which you merely open may imply network activity to target names that are embedded in the document well, in certificates which are embedded in the document.
The nice part is that these accesses will be performed by some system components which may completely disregard your browser configuration -- thus happening outside of the Tor umbrella. Goodbye anonymity! So don't open potentially hostile Word documents. However, if you trust the file, then there is no problem, yes? At least as long as you can be sure that the file you got is really the one you believe it is Amusingly enough, digital signatures can help you there, but the mere act of verifying the signature can entail activity which makes you totally non-anonymous, as explained above.

After downloading the file from the backend, the FileSaver. However this is from a case where the download was successful. I find this issue to only be partially reproducible on my machine.
I saw the failure about 7 times in one session of the Tor Browser and then never again. An interesting observation is that only sometimes is the browser able to provide a preview of the type of file it is about to download:. With some research with evilaliv3 it appears that the download fails when the Tor browser presents what I am going to call the downloadLoadingModal see figure 1.
