Simply open a search engine (Google and Bing are examples) and type this is
the Search box: what is docx? Then, press Enter on your keyboard. You'll be shown all the information you need. Daddy "moon4707" wrote in message ... Hi, I am using Word 2007.

.docx file extension
If you don't do anything special, when you save a document in Word 2007, you
will get a file with the .docx extension, as that is the default file format for Word 2007. In order to save in the older .doc format, you have to specifically choose "Word 97-2003 Document." -- Suzanne S.

.docx file extension
I thank you all for your responses. When I save a document, the .docx
extention does not appear in the file name. Furthermore, in the "Save as type" drop down list, .docx does not even appear. Do I have a problem here? "Suzanne S.

Well the problem is caused by the idiots who decided that the default
settings for WINDOWS is to 'Hide Extension for Known File Types'. This is a basic security risk and I recommend that you change this immediately. Open Windows Explorer, go to Tools, Folder Options and select the View tab. Scroll down until you find Hide extensions for know file types and clear the check box; click APPLY at the bottom of that dialog and close it. Note that in someone's wisdom, the Menu Bar is hidden by default in Windows Explorer (in Vista and Windows 7). Press the ALT key to unhide and use it. You can make it permanent if you open the ORGANIZE menu, select LAYOUT and click Menu Bar. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "moon4707" wrote in message ... I thank you all for your responses.
