I think I misunderstood your original problem. Download winzip or winrar (any archiving utility) and try opening it with that first. Then you'll have the ptp file.
ok Ive tried winzip the one I havnt tried yet and it still using a word document, Is my computer outdated?

Right-click the file, then "open with" and select your zip utility.

That's the ptp file in the zip. Just click extract and it will pull the ptp out of the zip file for you. Then go to livery manager & when you go to add the livery just browse to wherever winzip put that ptp.

Somehow zip files have been associated with the Microsoft Word application on your PC. When you click on a zip file they should open in a Windows Explorer folder, not Microsoft Word.The easiest way to resolve this is to download and install WinRAR from this link: http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar401.exe. WinRAR is an extremely popular, small and harmless utility that can extract the contents of zip files.During the installation, allow it to associate .zip files with the program, this means that it will open zip files instead of Microsoft Word.You will notice the icon for the downloaded livery files will now be a stack of books instead of the MS Word icon. Double click on the livery file and drag the .ptp file from the archive to the desktop.You can now use the PMDG livery manager to browse to your desktop and select the .ptp file.You can delete the .ptp file from your desktop once it has been installed (but keep the downloaded livery file in case you wish to re-install it again later.Hope this helps!PS. It might help if you display file name extensions on your PC, follow this article: http://windows.micro...name-extensions

ok that did not work but I discovered with the PMDG 747x (I recently started flying it) that the add on files that they use are the ones Im ment to get with the NGX. Something is very peculiar
