The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 6.0
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 6.0.1
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 6.0.1a
This article was previously published under Q119421 SYMPTOMS
When you use the Finder to Get Info on a Microsoft Word document or
template, both documents and templates are identified as "Word 6
Documents." In addition, when you view the contents of your folders, if you
are listing the files by Kind, both templates and documents are identified
as "Word 6 Documents."
CAUSE
By design, System 7 and System 8 identify both Word 6.0 documents and
templates as "Word 6 Documents."
Macintosh Easy Open as supplied with each version of the MacOS since 7.5
correctly identifies Word 6.0 documents as documents and Word 6.0 templates
as templates.
