Windows Explorer Icon

[Gary Bedell]

I have just upgraded my PC and the new PC included Office
2002 (including Word 2002). I just created a new
document and the icon (page with a blue "W" in front) is
not the same. The new icon looks like two pages with the
small blue "W" and a very small red arrow in the top
right corner. Can anyone tell me why the icon is
different? Does this denote something unique about this
documents content?

Thanks for the help.

I figured it out....finally. It appears that the file
was a WBK file (assuming that is a workbook file). I
must have inadvertently chose that file type when saving
it. Thought I would post this answer for anyone else
that might have the question.

That's not workbook; that's Word Backup. If you have "Automatically create
backup copy" enabled on the Save tab of Tools | Options, then every time you
save a document (after the first time), Word keeps the previous version as a
file called "Backup of <filename>.wbk.
