No, it was an MS word document I beleive. MS office docs have all sorts
of extra info in them about the creation of the file - user account,
etc. I think in this case, what did him was that the file was tagged
with the "Company" field which lists the comany info that was entered
when word was installed. In this case, it was the name of his church.
