- I have a friend that is having problems with his MAC. It seems that any Word,
- Excel, Hypercard, etc. documents that are in a higher folder level than the
- respective application fails to launch the application. Giving an error like
- "Unable to find the application that created the the document" Documents at
- lower folder levels launch the application. He also has noticed that all of
- the documents just have "Document" listed as the file type and not "Microsoft
- Word document" or "Microsoft Excel". He has tried everything short of
- re-formatting the hard disk and re-installing all of the applications. He has
- tried rebuilding the desktop, Norton Utilities Disk Doctor, re-installing the
- system software and optimizing the disk.
-
- Any suggestions?
