[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1894018, member: 396914"] But these files don't have an extent, right? And that could be part of the problem. Word grays out files that don't have the "correct" extent. So a file with NO extent gets greyed out. Try changing the name of one of these files to add the .doc extent, then try again to open it from within Word. With the .doc, it should not be greyed out, although that is still no guarantee that Word can actually read it. [/QUOTE]
