Basically, that's all OpenDocument formats, but also (almost?) all Microsoft Office formats. Till now, I didn't modify the auto-mode-alist entry of doc-view-mode. I think, adding all MS office extensions is ok, cause those are not really editable (binary) stuff anyway. Should I go ahead? For the OpenDocument formats, I'm not sure. Basically, those are zip archives containing the document contents as XML + images and metadata, and it's not totally unreasonable to edit the contents directly. So I guess, that's a corner case like postscript files... Bye, Tassilo
