We need this both for what we set in IIS and for the
HttpContext.Reponse.ContentType property.

We've tried a bunch of different things and none seem to work.

I don't know the answer offhand, but if you have software that you can open
them with, you can easily find out by looking at the Registry.

Hi Dave,

In addition to the list John mentioned, I found the following MSDN
reference include some content-type info for some other component files in
OFFICE 2007 OOXML:
