Whoops, that should be "crafty." My off-the-cuff definition would have been
"scheming."

No, "ingenuous" is sometimes used as a synonym for "naive." "Disingenuous"
means "not straightforward, craft." I assumed that the poster meant that
the
sender's intention in sending the file was to point up Word's
deficiencies.

This disingenuousness was in assuming the Microsoft product did things
that
it does not. Disingenuous is sometimes used as a synonym for naive.

That's hilarious. He doesn't use a Microsoft product, therefore, he's
disingenous.

Your friend was probably being disingenuous assuming your Word would
open Staroffice SDW files. OpenOffice (www.openoffice.org), the
"free" version of Star Office, can save files in Word DOC format.
Ask your
friend to please resave/resend the file in a mutually-capable format,
e.g. Word DOC, RTF, text, html, etc.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
