>Too bad. I suggest that you study the subject a bit better, or perhaps experiment a bit. Continuing to make incorrect statements, even when you have been corrected only makes you look ignorant.

I love that statement. You think that all you have to do is post something and I am corrected. Such conceit. And about the ignorant part, if you think it enhances your stature to call someone names then go ahead, I can handle it.

Now then, in your line by line dissection of my last post, you agreed with some of what I said but you are hung up on the executable part.
Yes, of course Word will open a .DOC file. I used the word text file but I thought you would understand that they are the same thing. They just have a different extension ie .txt or .doc.
Word or Wordpad will open these files and display them. Note I said display and not execute. And yes it can happen automatically in certain cases.
You agree that data files can't harm your computer even if there is virus code in it so opening a data file with .doc or .txt in Word or Wordpad will be safe.
Your Bio shows your company as Frisk software which I assume you own, so you should know the difference between an .exe file and a .doc file.
Now try sending yourself say a small utility file with an .exe extension and you will find that Word or Wordpad will not open it.

So now where are we?

regards,
Jerry
