Hi Duane :)
Um... maybe this is Microsoft's new *EXPORTABLE* encryption technique?
hmmm.... it might work? hehehe
Art "Well... it could be :) " Bahrs
Here's a little chuckle for the day. I received a MS word doc
from a customer as an attachment, saved in word 6.0 format, evidently
using word'97.
The doc has a list of 21 numbered items with item #14 having 3 sub
items with letters (a-c). Here is how various MS applications treat
this MS document:
1. word 7.0a (word'95)
numbers them 1-14 a,b,c correctly, then starts over for 1-7 (instead
of 15-21).
2. wordpad
numbers them 1-14, but item #14 has the sub-items as o,p,q
(instead of a,b,c); then numbers the items 18-24 (instead
of 15-21).
3. notepad
works correctly.
I must say, that without this most entertaining and inconsistent
interpretation, I could not have had such a good time wasting so
much of the same.
Now - where DID I put that win'98 upgrade box...
