Subject: [mso] saving in DOS


Dear Linda and group
       How does a word document get saved as a DOS document?  I help the

elderly as you know and with this person she is intercepting her mail
through 
our computers and she receives several documents at a time that she
opens and 
saves onto a disk, however she saved this one file as a C document and
when 
she went to open it word  could not read it when I went to help her I 
couldn't get it open - did not see it in the files - it was just on the 
file/open menu at the bottom and I seen that it had DOS in the titled
doc -  
I couldn't figure out how it got into DOS - along with this she has
printed 
out documents that have the formatting layout on it - like Heading 1
Default Paragraph Font Windows 98 C/MyDocuments/ with either
AutoRecovery (how does that happen) or 
with a bunch of little squares at the end  [] [] [] [] [][] [] []
something 
like this 
And three came like this:
ADBF5FA4-B389-11D6-A3F6-006008AF224A - what does all that mean?

She said she didn't do anything different?  Can anyone help me? Thank
You in advance, Beth
