A fix for an 'Open With: Not Applicable' errors
Authored by: peterholdn on Aug 24, '04 02:35:57PM

I have noticed the same thing with MS Word files (with the ".doc" extension that are created on the PC that I have networked with my Mac.

Word files created on the Mac or downloaded via email or from the web are just fine, but files that are saved by the PC into a Mac directory don't show as word files, even after assigning them to Word using the Info "open with." Files saved on the PC and copied to the mac using the Finder don't work either.

Photoshop files created on the PC and saved to a mac directory work just fine, show their custom Photoshop icons, and open with the Mac version of Photoshop.

Rebuilding the desktop in Classic didn't help.

Relax, it's only ones and zeroes.
