An attachment emailed to me is a .pln file that the sender claims to open
with Word. My computer does not recognise this file. I tried the Microsoft
web search for a solution which recommended RegCure. But RegCure didn't do
anything. What is a pln file and how can I open one?

Its could be a Canon photo file. You can try inserting the file in your
word document rather than just openiong it. I don't know what version of
Word you are using so I can't give you the instructions here.

Alternatively, try opening the file in your browser like IE8 or
Mozilla/Firefox.

A Google search suggests these could be WordPerfect spreadsheet files.
Perhaps your sender has a version of Word that contains converters for
WordPerfect files, where you don't--hence the difference.

Thanks, Susan. You could be right. I tried downloading a file extension
"fix-all" programme - but it said my computer had no problem with the .pln
extension! I'm destined not to win this one.

Thanks for your suggestions - regrettably neither worked. Suspect Susan is
right & its an ancient WordPerfect file.

Perhaps your friend who can open them could then do a File, Save As and save
them back to a compatible version for your system.
