Just one message because this is straying into off-topic stuff. Word is a
powerful program, and maybe the reason you hate it is because you don't
understand it. Yes, if you don't set it up right and don't know what you're
doing and don't take the time to learn, it's frustrating. But don't shoot
it for your own lack of knowledge. Like any program, it typically does what
the user tells it to do... You can turn off the prompt to save
properties. Tools, Options, Save, and tab to the checkbox and uncheck it.
You can also clear the stored personal information and have Word save files
without any personal info.
Yes, I'm a Word user and depend on it heavily. I hope the BN continues to
make strides for more and more Word compatibility.
If you want any help with Word, you can contact me off list and I can try to
help. I won't try and convert you, but it is a powerful tool and works
better if you know what you're doing with it.

Your message has brought up one of the many reasons why I hate Word. Your
document sounds plain enough, but no doubt Word is the culprit because it
adds codes which the BN doesn't support. Microsoft expects everybody to
cater to them and their products!
I can see why Word users want the BN to communicate better with Word.
But there is one thing I hope the BN will never ever do: add properties to
documents! Word forces me to add author, title and other unnecessary
information about my documents and I can't turn the blasted things off!
I loathe Word so when I need to export a document so my PC can read it, I
will export it as a wp5 txt or .brf file.

: Hello Jonathan,
: I am curious to know why the BN can not open all Microsoft Word
: documents. I recently needed to open a file which I created in
: Word 2003 and saved it to my jump drive. I then tried to open it
: because I needed a phone number from it. I had no tables or
: bulleted information. It was a document that had names,room
: numbers, phone numbers and such information. I also, just
: received an attachment that is a word document and the BN will
: not open it. I have no clue as to its content, but it crashed my
: machine when I tried to open it. I look forward to any
: suggestions you have in this matter.
: Tiffany
