Word or Excel do***ents that were created on PC's simply by
double-clicking them. When a do***ent is double-clicked in Word, it opens
a blank do***ent. When an Excel do***ent is double-clicked, it opens the
program and the formatting palette. (If I then click on the Excel icon in
my dock, it opens a blank spreadsheet.)
