WordPerfect doesn't attach an extension to the filename typed while saving a document. This makes it impossible to retreive it from windows using the 'Assosiate' feature. To use the 'associate' feature the filename needs to have some extension. Since this problem of retreiving files, without any extension, into WordPerfect from windows cannot be solved from Windows I am wondering if a default (lets say 'wp') extension can be added everytime a document is saved in WordPerfect. This would make my life easier since we have WP on the Network and I have to configure only one copy of WP unlike windows which is on each PC. This is a serious problem for me and any help in solving this will be sincerely appreciated. Thanks, Eman ps: For those who are interested in the background: In Microsoft Mail a user can send an 'Attachment', a document along with his/her mail message. The other user can just double clikc on the icon he/she receives in the mail message, indicating the presence of an attachment, and open it to read it. The only problem is, like I said, the document sometimes comes without any extension. MS-Mail looks at the Windows 'Associate' settings to retreive the document. Since there is no association it fails while trying to open the document. However if the user receives the document with a standard extension, like 'wp', then we can associate it with WP and readily open the document.
