as far as I'm concerned giving a document an incorrect file extension is a
rare case.
the way windows applications usually deal with this is that if you put the
"filename.doc" in inverted commas you will get the literal filename and an
extension will not be automatically added. Those who want the rare case
of naming a document incorrectly should be willing to go through an extra
step.

I'm sure this can be figured out.
