Hello Everyone,

For some reason I'm having users send files that don't have file extensions. This is a big problem, as I know Mac OS X embeds file type into the actual file, windows does not and none of our clients can read these files because it doesn't have a file extension! Is there anyway I can make it so all Office applications save the filename+filext? Please help!!!

Look in Entourage Preferences under compose. There is a check box to append
file extensions. For most Office files, your windows users can still open
the files by using File-Open. Switch to all files, and then select the
desired file.
