[OS X TeX] weird behavior

[Richard Koch]

Zbigniew,

I tried this here with no problems. Since your behavior
happens in the Finder rather than in TeXShop, I don’t intend
to work on it. I don’t have Word and have never heard
of Communicator. 

Best of luck.

The icon next to the copy turns from a tex source icon to a word document icon—the listing in finder still says it is a tex document, but when I try to open it I get a message saying that I need to be signed in to Communicator to view a contact list, and I get a box to sign in to Communicator.  For context, I have used word, but never communicator, in the past.
