Hi =?Utf-8?B?UmFtcw==?=,

mime type for microsoft office 2007 documents.

Irrelevant. Word documents are not HTML.

Default file type for Word 2007 is a ZIP Package that
contains XML files.

Relevant. Not all web documents are HTML. ;-)

The browser and server need to work out between them what happens when the user
clicks on a link to, say, a PDF. Or a DOCX.

If the mime types are set incorrectly, the browser may try to open Office 2007
files as ZIP files rather than launching them in the correct Office app. More
on that here (from a PPT perspective, but change the app names and extensions
and the info should be good for Word too):

PowerPoint 2007 files don't download correctly from a Web Server, open as zip
files

There's a link to a list of suggested MIME types too.

Hi Steve,

Aha! Learn something new every day

BTW, since I've got you "on the line": Do you know of a
good source of simple (outline/silhouette) graphics of
countries?

Mary Sauer's got a US map and another of Europe as WMFs that should be
ungroupable/editable:

I may have some other bits and pieces of the world stashed away here.
Give me an eShout with your wish list and I'll see what I can come up with.
