On certain incoming E-mail messages I get the message "Word.ink not found". I have no .ink files on my computer. I am running Windows 95 and Office 97. How is this corrected? Where do I find a Word.ink file?

Beats me. I suspect it is actually .lnk which is a shortcut. Meaning the person sending the file mistakingly inseted the shortcut as opposed to the actual file which should have an extension of .doc or .rtf

Does the error state .ink or .lnk? There are actually .lnk files all over your computer, you just never see the extensions. That is the file extension for shortcuts.

Files with the .ink extension are associated with CorelDRAW (Pantone Matching System). It sounds like someone is trying to send you a message with multicolored text, and your email client is having trouble recognizing it.

I would ask the user to send the message in plain text, or try to rename the file to another extension.
