Don't Overextend Your Files
 
 

If you create a new file in WordPad or Notepad and save it, these applets add a TXT extension regardless of whether you add an extension yourself. You can end up with filenames like REPORT.TXT.TXT. To prevent them from adding the extension, put quotation marks around your filename ("REPORT.TXT") in
the SaveAs dialog. Do the same in Word if you've chosen an extension other than DOC.
