I receive a number of messages to include in our church newsletter. One
woman always sends tables prepared in Word, but her documents never have
extensions (*.doc or anything else). As a result, I always hae to manually
"select from" programs to open them in Word. That's not a big problem, but
it would be nicer if she could send them with extensions. My documents--and
everyone else's who sends them to me regularly--authomatically appear with
an extension, so I assume that there is some setting that needs to be
changed on her copy of Word. She uses Word on a personal laptop, but that's
*all* I know about her setup. I could ask questions, if additional
information is needed.

Can anyone tell me how she could change her settings so she will
automatically have the correct extension? If possible, please include info
for both Word 2003 and Word 2007 because I may need to go to her house and
do this for her.

Thanks,
MaryL
