Thanks Robert. I used the .txt file as an example. If I said I inserted a
Word doc or and Excel doc, one might sidetrack into the type of file I was
trying to insert, and its nature. A .txt file has no baggeage so the issue
is the application it's being inserted into.
Whether you've seen a reason for inserting any type of file or not isn't the
issue. The application should have the capability, and there is a reason.
Justifying the reason is not something that needs to be done. That might
sound like I don't value your opinion, but it's quite the contrary. I just
don't want to spend several exchanges justifying why I need Word to do
something it should be able to do.
I'm not dealing with a file server in this instance. Everything is local.
This happens for me, and others in my office. As I mentioned, I also have
this installed at home from a separately purchased set of installation disks,
and experience the same effect. The most interesting thing is that there is
no issue with PDFs. Somehow they fall in under the radar and insert without
issue.
I really do appreciate the response.
Thanks.

fair enough.
Do you insert the file as a symbol? Same behavior?

Thanks for continuing the thread.
When I do the insert I always insert the object as an icon. Playing around
with it this morning I am noticing that it is having trouble with files that
it cannot associate an icon with. Files with a .txt or .msg extension don't
raise the expected icon prior to insertion. There must be an association
issue in the aaplication. I had thought that the associations are determined
through the OS, but I'm thinking that may not be the case.
