Not exactly ham related, but info I thought some might be interested in. 
Anyhow, I don't know if any of you receive social security notices on cd 
or not, but I do and I have found something strange the last year or so. 
The file has an extension of doc and the readme.txt says this file or 
notice can be read by wword 2003 or later.  not exactly true.  When I try 
to read it in 2003, I get garbage.  I installed a conversion program some 
time ago so my word 2003 will read d o c x files.  If I change the 
extension to this file to a d o c x, the file reads and converts fine. 
Presumably the doofuses who create these think all they have to do is 
change the extension.  In reality these files are actually a d o c x file. 
Just thought I'd pass this along.
