TIFF (Apple) files
I realize that changing the extension doesn't change the contents, but (a)
AIUI, Apple doesn't use file extensions to begin with, and (b) Windows can't handle four-letter file extensions, so I thought that might help. But if the TIFF is an Apple-flavored one that Windows/Word can't handle, then you'll have to ask the sender to supply it in a different format. -- Suzanne S.

TIFF (Apple) files
Suzanne,
Thank you for that info! That info on Apple is news to me! I will ask *another* person, with a MAC, with more expertise, to send me a file. No wonder I was puzzled by Black Ice's stmt of handling TIFF files, yet their site offered a TIF file for testing. I am certainly learning from you all in the process of this ordeal. SO, does Apple arbitrarily apply the .tiff extension, or does that user have a choice of which extension is applied to generic data? I apologize for insulting your intelligence. I've received some otherwise input elsewhere on another subject, and it carried over to this more-informed forum. Thank you for your continued support! Suzanne S.

TIFF (Apple) files
Mary has made a helpful suggestion, but to get back to the initial issue.
Since you posted in a Word newsgroup, is the issue that you are wanting to use the TIFF image in a Word document? If so, note that changing the extension *might* help in that regard because in that case you're not wanting to open the file for editing, just to use Insert | Picture | From File, and I think Word won't "see" it unless it has a TIF extension. That said, however, there are certain "flavors" of TIFF that Word just can't use, and this could well be one of them. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA Word MVP FAQ site: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. "offerocker" wrote in message ... Suzanne, Thank you for that info! That info on Apple is news to me! I will ask *another* person, with a MAC, with more expertise, to send me a file. No wonder I was puzzled by Black Ice's stmt of handling TIFF files, yet their site offered a TIF file for testing. I am certainly learning from you all in the process of this ordeal. SO, does Apple arbitrarily apply the .tiff extension, or does that user have a choice of which extension is applied to generic data? I apologize for insulting your intelligence. I've received some otherwise input elsewhere on another subject, and it carried over to this more-informed forum. Thank you for your continued support! Suzanne S.

TIFF (Apple) files
Hi Suzanne,
Well, FWIW, if Windows couldn't handle four character file extensions, then we may all be in a spot of bother with Office 2007 .docx (et al) file naming, eh?  Windows can support longer file extensions, they're not populated very often as a number of programs, not expecting to deal with long extensions can be a bit bothersome. You can define .LongExtension for example and associate it as a JPEG file or other file type (no spaces in the extension). There are a number of database apps in use that were setup to look for 3 character file extensions and do need to be changed for inventorying Office 2007 files  Of course, sending it by email might not be helpful to others where their computer didn't recognize the extension, but using homemade extensions is one method some folks use as a 'security' measure. Some programs will 'see through' the extension and suggest changing the file extension back to the 'correct' one. Irfanview is one that does that for graphics. =================== "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
