Same source file, two formats, three filenames.

Definitive answer? Wordpad on Vista does not open Word .DOC files.

Left to right: .DOC, RTF, RTF with .DOC extension.

Vista's Wordpad won't open .DOC files. - (pwhysall) - (6) - Jan. 3, 2007, 03:39:21 AM EST

Ah. How about if one renames them to *.RTF? :-) -NT - (CRConrad) - (4) - Jan. 3, 2007, 04:46:34 AM EST

What if it really /is/ a .DOC? - (pwhysall) - (3) - Jan. 3, 2007, 07:01:37 AM EST

That's the one I'm wondering about, yes. - (CRConrad) - (2) - Jan. 3, 2007, 09:08:27 AM EST

Might install Vista tonight and find out. - (pwhysall) - Jan. 3, 2007, 09:12:30 AM EST
