I can only suggest a direction of search, since creating an empty document and opening it with Visual C++ hex editor does not help.

First of all, I beleave, there are multiple Word documents formats. Meaning, that over the years, as Word matured it would request if you wanted to convert the older format into the new format (accept the version that pissed every body off, because they could not open their old documents).

I would recommend that you open Word and look at the document formats it supports and then search the net for the specifications for the formats you are interested in. Other than ASCII text (.txt, .c??, .pas, etc..), most file formats (not all) have some sort of header information that you can examine to determine what type of data it holds.

FYI: I understand why Microsoft (and whoever) used file extensions to detetermine file type (speed), but one of the compilers I use produces a file that is mistaken as a short cut. At first I was confused, but now I take it for granted and pick what application I want to open the file.

Trust in the code Luke. Yea right!
