Colorful document list...

[TINKY]

Can ANYBODY tell me why, when I go to "file-open," my Word documents are now listed in color? Up until a few days ago, they were just boring old black letters, much as I'm typing now, but now, a bunch of 'em are a lovely shade of blue (as in "what's a display name" at the top of this communique...Anybody know what's going on? I'm using XP, if that's any help. PLEEEEEZE tell me WHY this is happening? Please e-mail me if you know. Thanks.

Files compressed in Windows NTFS file system are shown in blue by default.
