From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We could really do with some more links at the bottom. 71.240.242.39 16:51, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

No kidding. I have no particular expertise in this technical area, but the two links at the bottom here make MS Word out to be just about the worst thing since Mr. and Mrs. Hitler's first date. One of the pages goes so far as to include a heading called "Rants about MS-Word." To put it mildly, this is not the stuff of objective encyclopedias. I'm deleting that link, and I hope more knowledgeable people will contribute. --George 05:38, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links

The 2 links here are entirely bogus. Why do we need a RMS doc-bashing link in doc encyclopedia page? Objectivity, people! objectivity.Brajesh 07:21, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

why is that gnu link on there? this article is far too anti word, and there are viewers for docx available from MS. What a load of nonsense. 82.41.94.168 16:09, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] .doc binary specifications

Microsoft has released specifications for the binary .doc format http://www.microsoft.com/interop/docs/OfficeBinaryFormats.mspx maybe it is to some use? Zpon (talk) 14:13, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] extensions still used

"The original uses for the extension have largely disappeared from the PC world."

File extensions are used by Windows to associate files with applications. Without the association you can't launch a file by double-clicking on it. The extension is also used to determine the icon. ACEDaddy (talk) 15:27, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
