[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1894534, member: 190607"] Clearly you are skipping a critical step. When I choose File --> Open in Word, I first choose "Open: All Files" from the drop down menu in the Open dialog box before selecting a file to open in that dialog. That causes any and all files that were previously greyed out to now be openable. Until I did the above, the file that you sent me was greyed out. After I chose Open: All Files, it was select-able and it opened perfectly. [/QUOTE]
