Hey guys I just recieved a cd w/ a magazine on it, but the file doesn't have an extension. (all mac workflow I'm assuming). We have both pc's and macs on this end, but I have no idea how to open this file? Any thoughts? Thanks!

a) pick up phone
b) call whoever sent
c) ask what the files are
d) hang up
e) add said extension

can't you view what extension they're using by changing the folder view?

can't you try the most obvious ones, say for like indesign or quark, or pdf?

A good text editor should be able to show you the file as plain text... often has the file type written in the header...
Isnt there something like Graphic Converter for Windows? It has filters to open anything (190 file types), even when you dont know what it is...
