I am using SQL 2000, and as per the docs, I should be able to create 
Full-text indexes on MS Word docs stored in image columns.
Just to test this, I created a new table, and used the TEXTCOPY application 
to add around 20 rows in it, one word document per row.

The table schema is as follows :

        cnd_id                          int             
        ENTRY_DATE                      datetime                
        UPDATE_DATE                     datetime                
        USER_RESUME             text            
        WORD_RESUME             image           
        BINDCOL                 char            

I used the full-text indexing wizard to specify the image column 
WORD_RESUME, and the associated binding column BINDCOL, which contains the 
value '.doc' for each row. The wizard then notifies me that the index has 
been created, but not populated. On completing full population, the 
properties of the catalog read as follows :

Item Count : 21
Catalog Size : 1 MB
Unique Key Count : 8

I'm quite positive that there are more than 8 non-noise words in the 21 
docs in this table. On adding more rows, and populating the catalog again, 
the key count stays the same. And both the CONTAINS and FREETEXT predicates 
give me no result when used to query this column.

I already use full-text indexes on text columns, without any problem. So my 
best guess is that the SQL 2000 filters for .doc are either missing or not 
working.

Can anyone help me on this one ?
