Will a Floating Disk Rotate or Move Linearly if Force is Applied off Center?

[freephoton]

if a rigid body, let's say a disk,is floating in space and we exert a force outside its center of mass will it rotate or just start a linear move? its center of mass is free to move.sorry if my English are not so good.I hope that you understood the question

It will do both.

thanks for the reply Chestermiller! Thats also what i think but because there is not fixed axis or a force couple i was not really sure.
