The Mac version's of MS products prior to IIRC, office 2001, did NOT 
include the suffix by default. And the suffix is the only way Windows 
knows how to assign what application goes with a file.

So you have to add the correct suffix to files you plan to share with PC 
users (.doc for Word, .xls for Excel, .ppt for PowerPoint, .txt for raw 
text)
