http://www.officeformac.com/ms/microsoft.public.mac.office.word For those who have been hit with the &quot;issue&quot; of Word 2008 SP1 not<br> opening files tagged with the WDBN file type code when opening<br> attachments saved from Lotus Notes, I've found a workaround.<br> <br> It turns out that Lotus Notes uses Internet Config (a piece of public<br> domain code that's incorporated into OS X) to apply file type and<br> creator codes to files that don't originate on the Mac. At least on my<br> computer, Internet Config maps the .doc extension to file type WDBN<br> and creator MSWD.<br> <br> Internet Explorer (not available for download from Microsoft any more)<br> happens to be able to view and edit Internet Config mappings through<br> its Preferences window (File Helpers tab). You select the entry for<br> the &quot;.doc&quot; extension (it was sorted by extension when I opened it --<br> I'm not sure it always is), click &quot;Change&quot; and then change WDBN to<br> W8BN.<br> <br> Hope this helps some.<br> Thu, 19 Jun 2008 23:06:10 GMT Web Crossing(r) Unix-v6.4 built Jan 14 2010 18:50:13 (source:1372 2010-01-14 15:39:31 -0800)/Unix-6.4 (http://webcrossing.com/) http://backend.userland.com/rss
