dodgy docs

Hi


Some .doc files created by 602Text contain lists of URLs, only seen by
opening the files in a plain text editor. This program must be raiding
a non-MS browser somehow to get them.

Whats going on here? Can it be fixed? Could I overtype the URLs or
delete them, or will that corrupt the .doc files? I dont really /need/
to lose them, but I do object to this process, especially the fact
that its been going on without knowledge /permission. I dont think its
appropriate to pass files to people that could contain confidential
material I've been working on.

Comments and solutions welcome. Thank you.


Regards, NT

Just for the heck of it I installed an evaluation copy under Crossover
Office 2.1 on a Linux machine.

The program has access to everything in my /home directory and didn't show
any of the behavior you noted.

Admittedly, I didn't give it a strenuous test -- yet.

It does look interesting, however.
