- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- When you are using Services for Macintosh (SFM) on a Windows NT Advanced
- Server, some of the files may appear with incorrect icons to the Macintosh
- users.
-

- Load the file into Word for the Macintosh by running Word and then using
- the choose Open from the File menu. After the file is loaded, choose Save
- As from the File menu and use the same filename. This overwrites the
- original file and will be fine.

- MORE INFORMATION
- ================
-
- When you are using a Windows NT Advanced Server as a way to share files
- between PC users and Macintosh users, some files may appear incorrectly,
- specifically between Microsoft Word for Windows 6.0 and Microsoft Word for
- the Macintosh 5.1. Out of 100 files saved by Word for Windows users,
- approximately five will show up in the Macintosh Finder with a generic ôPC
- fileö icon. When the file is in this state, Macintosh users cannot double-
- click the icon to edit the file.
-
- Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows NT
- Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post
- new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
- available.
