I'm not typerules expert, however going "by example" I see that when you see
"string" in typerules, the match is a real string, not some escaped chars.


For escaped chars, look at the entry for tif
0   short       0x4949      tiff

if you do (fax00226.tif is a received tif)

dd if=fax00226.tif bs=1 count=2 | od -hc
2+0 records in
2+0 records out
0000000 4949
          I   I
0000002

So you see where 4949 came from.

You can trying doing the same to a word doc.
