SYMPTOMS
When you use the Finder to Get Info on a Microsoft Word document or template, both documents and templates are identified as "Word 6 Documents." In addition, when you view the contents of your folders, if you are listing the files by Kind, both templates and documents are identified as "Word 6 Documents."



CAUSE
By design, System 7 and System 8 identify both Word 6.0 documents and templates as "Word 6 Documents."

Macintosh Easy Open as supplied with each version of the MacOS since 7.5 correctly identifies Word 6.0 documents as documents and Word 6.0 templates as templates.
