cant find file

[shakey]

I received a message attachment that had was named in Japanese followed by
..jtd
Couldn't open it, no association so I tried Word association but now get
"can't find ????????????.jtd" message.
Any thoughts or program suggestions? I am asking here as its the OP system
XP sp2 that is giving me the can't find message
Thanks
SG
I know the sender, Japanese professor, so its safe and we can read his
Japanese messages in OE6 since Japanese is installed.

Just found that notepad should open it if I can get XP to find it.

First, you have multi-posted this same post to word.newusers. Please do not do that. Instead, cross-post to 1 or 2 groups in the same original post. Doing that benefits you, the other readers, and the folks who answer you.

You state subject as cannot find. Did you do a right-click on the attachment, do a Save As, and guide the process to save into a unique folder of your making? (so that later, you can use Windows Explorer, navigate to folder, and then right-click, select "Open With" )

Open Find > Files/Folders.
If you saved it with word it most likely changed it to a .doc.
Search the drive for *.jtd or name.doc.
In the Search for..... input text box type: *.jtd; name.doc
That will search for both in one run. Change "name" to the actual name of
the doc.

You are correct Maurice and I am sorry.
I cross posted as the groups are radically different but both fit my
question however I should have done it as you suggested.
I thought of that workaround and yes it worked. Unfortunately neither word
or notepad will display correctly even though I have Japanese capabilities,
Must be the originating program.
