When I send out a word doc it shows the following
Mirosoft Office Word Document(.docx) and they can not open. It is not
recongized by web sites requiring MS Word formatting. I think is the
x at the of doc?
The .docx extension is used for the new file format in Word 2007. If you
need the older .doc format, you can either:
- open the Save As dialog, pull down the Save As Type dropdown at the
bottom, and choose "Word 97-2003 (*.doc)"
OR
- click the Office button, hover over the Save As item until the menu opens,
and choose the "Word 97-2003" item.
Users of versions before Word 2007 can get the Compatibility Pack at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
to let them open the Word 2007 format, but many people won't want to do this
(it's a large download). Also, many web sites have not yet added the .docx
format to their list of MIME types, so they won't recognize it.
