*you got a real ahumm computer helper there LMAO Just because you change a name of the file does not change the type of a file . . tell her to change it back to the .pdf and it will once again work ! . . . got to tell her it has to be saved as a doc or what ever in windows crap . . In Linux I can tear a PDF apart and piece it back together so it has every thing turned backwards and re send it out the door

Hi :)
Excellent name btw chap!  :)

I just let one of my users login as admin and she 'had to' change a file-name.  In Windows by 
default it includes the file-extension in the name when you try to rename files so she changed the 
pdf to something with no ending and then Windows couldn't find the right program to open it with!  
[sighs deeply]

Regards from
Tom too :)

Hi, absolutely agree about the hide extensions crap, this is indeed one of the first things I fix 
on any computer I am working on for anyone.  I knew it went back a long way but pretty much the 
first version of windows I had a screen reader for was win98.  It continues to be the same up 
through windows 7 and I am sure Windows 8 will be no better.

Just to keep this message in line with the subject yes I routinely share ODF documents with Office 
users because they insist on running MS crap where I work whereas I refuse to give the bastards at 
MS any more money than absolutely necessary.

Best regards,

Tom

Every MS Office user can save the much more compatible doc and xls
easily.
One of the major problems with Windows 7 (and possibly Vista - I can't
remember) is that the "Show file extensions for known file types" is
switched OFF by default (God knows why) so the user may not even KNOW
they are working with docx or xlsx instead of .doc or .xls...

This default setting is one of the most serious issues since Windows '95. They know very well why 
they install it like that. Every knowledgable user knows why this is the one of the first option to 
be turned off for each new Windows installation.
The problem is that many users are not even aware they can change the
setting. Many malware packages exploit this file extension hiding. The
last time I reset it I believe I had to drill down about 3 or 4 levels
before I could change it.
