Word attachments converted to text
When I receive Word attachments, they are mysteriously converted to
unreadable .txt documents. I am using OE6, Norton AV, and Trend Micro Anti-Spam. They leave the sender as .doc and arrive as .txt. Any one have any suggestions? Thanks.

Have you tried renaming the txt as .doc? I did that with a similar instance
a few days ago, and the file was readable. Don't know why it arrived that way, though, as in general .docs arrive OK. -- David Biddulph "jrsyangl" wrote in message news:HI_yh.4485$da1.781@trndny03...

Is the sender using Outlook or Outlook Express?
Are they sending in RTF format? -- Ronald Sommer "jrsyangl" wrote in message news:HI_yh.4485$da1.781@trndny03... : When I receive Word attachments, they are mysteriously converted to : unreadable .txt documents.

Yes, I thought of that but it didn't help. I've also discovered that the
problem is not limited to .doc files; it also happened to a .jpg file. Normally, I get these files fine. "David Biddulph" wrote in message ... Have you tried renaming the txt as .doc?

I do not know what email package(s) these senders are using. Actually, I
just found out that the problem has occurred with a Word document and a ..jpg file. Lou "Ron Sommer" wrote in message ... Is the sender using Outlook or Outlook Express?

Ask those using MS Outlook to send to you only using Plain Text, especially
if there's an attachment. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) jrsyangl wrote: When I receive Word attachments, they are mysteriously converted to unreadable .txt documents.
