You found the explanation -- almost
Marie, Here I was, exchanging emails with Cheryl, wondering what it was and you found it! :-) What seems to happen is that Susie saves the glossary as susie.glo and Wordpad adds .txt to make it susie.glo.txt but when she looks in the Windows explorer, it says aha! .txt is a known extension and I do not need to show it. So Susie sees susie.glo and is as puzzled as we are. The one piece of the puzzle that remains to be explained is why Wordpad adds this damaging .txt extension. I am wondering if this is not the standard behavior when "hide file extensions for known file types" is checked. In summary, Susie and all others whose life is made more complicated by arrogant Microsoft engineers (who believe that all of us are as stupid as their "Office Assistant"), my recommendation is always to uncheck hide file extensions for known file types Jean Ichbiah
