One of the annoying little features of Word 5. is the dialogue box that
pops up every time I double click on anything other than a pure Word 5
file.

It asks me if I want to open the file as text or as "text with layout".

Since I **never ** want to open a file as "text with layout" this is
irritating to see ten to twenty times a day. 

Does anyone know how to turn off this "feature"?
