Well, FWIW, here's the answer I (foolishly) sent to the OP in response to
his direct email (which posed both of the questions he's posted in these
NGs; if I'd realized he'd spammed the NGs with questions, I would just have
quoted my sig to him):
But .doc files *are* Word files! You're probably just not used to seeing the
file extension. This is a Windows setting: In Windows Explorer, go to Tools
| Folder Options | View and check the box for "Hide file extensions for
known file types." If it's already checked, then possibly Windows has lost
track of the fact that Word "owns" .doc files. You can restore the file
association by "reregistering" Word (reestablishing its "ownership" of the
..doc and .dot file types in the Windows Registry). To do this, select Run
from the Start menu; then type
winword /r
and press Enter. Note that there is a space before the forward slash.
We generally recommend, however, that you display file types. This protects
you from malicious attachments masquerading as innocent file types and makes
it easier to deal with files in Explorer windows.

Pity I won't see a solution, if it's only answered in "another
Group" (surely a couple of "crossposted" groups is not the end of
the World?)
Crossposting would be okay (asuming the other group is relevant).
But what the OP die was not crossposting, it was multiposting, and
that's very far from okay.

(The answer, since you ask, is nothing to do with Word. It's a
setting in Tolols - Folder Options in Windows Explorer.)
I know the answer, but I would like to know how it was formulated.
