That's a dicey assumption.  I know of more than a dozen
different formats that use that extension, and Word is
not the oldest nor the newest nor the most common, I
think.  (Though it is certainly one of the most command
and probably either the second or third most common
if you count all the different Word formats as the 
same format, which they're not, but I digress.)  The
issue is confused further because Word can read other
common formats that share the DOC extension but are 
not Word formats.
