Oh dear, sounds quite serious then. This had better be fixed in the next upgrade.

Dear Janand List, When you create a Word file using the BN, the extension will be .doc. But if you transfer that same file to your PC and open it, your PC will recognize the file as a rich text format file. When I go to the save as dialog box and tab once, the combo box says it is a rich text file, not a Microsoft Word file. If I try to open a Word file created on the BN using DBT 10.6, Duxbury won't import the file because "it is not a supported file type." Duxbury supports Word files, but it doesn't support rich text files. Therefore, the BN does not, in fact, create true Word documents.
