There are a number of people who try to open every file on their computer through Microsoft Word. Every single file. It doesn’t matter if it’s a PDF, JPEG, or Excel file. When they need to find something, they go to Word. And often times this leads to them thinking the file has been deleted. I’ve noticed it’s generally the older folks who do this, so perhaps they were taught something that I wasn’t?

Have you ever experienced this where you work? Anyone have a half-way decent explanation why certain people try to use Word to open all their files?
