.doc vs .docx
I have Office 2000 (and am quite happy with it although it's an older
version). When I receive a word document from someone using Office 2007 and try to open it, I get a pop-up telling me that it isn't recognized. When I change the extention from .docx to .doc, I get a page full of hieroglyphics (squares and symbols). Is there a download available to fix this problem? Something I can do internally? Thanks for any help. |

I just want to post a question. This is too complicated. Can I just ask the
question from this space?

To send a resume created in Word to an Internet email so that the recipient
can then copy the Word created resume from the Internet email...What format is compatible? Is it possible to accomplish this task from a .doc or .docx ? Please respond on a 5th grade level.

Save the file in whatever format you know your recipient can read.
Compose your email message in your email program, and click "Attach." Browse to the file and select it. Send. Are you smarter than a 5th-grader?

.doc vs .docx
If you attach a .doc file to an email message, most recipients will be able
to open and print it, more than are likely to be able to open a .docx file. If you have Word 2007, however (as you evidently do), you might find it worthwhile to download the free add-in that allows you to save the document as a PDF. Even the few users who do not have some version of Word or the Word Viewer installed will almost certainly have Adobe Reader. Get the add-in from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en or http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en (I'm not sure what advantage there may be to the one that also saves as XPS). -- Suzanne S.

.doc vs .docx
Does the Word file, .doc or .docx, affect the format of the recipient,
message? The problem is this, recipient (me) receives a jumbled internet email document. To verify how the document will look when received as an internet email, I begin with sending the Word document (.doc/.docx) to recipient (me) internet email. The document form is (always jumbled in appearance). Then, fix the individually jumbled email margins and resend the same document from me to the recipient (me). The margin changes are lost and repeatedly revert back to the same jumbled document. Thank you, Michele "grammatim" wrote: Save the file in whatever format you know your recipient can read.

.doc vs .docx
If you are e-mailing the document, as the body of a message, then you should
be aware that the formatting requirements for html e-mail and Word document are entirely different. HTML does not use margins nor even pages. You can view the finished result of what you would be sending in Web layout view. If you want the recipient to receive a similar appearance to your Word document send it as an attachment. If you want it to be received *exactly* as you see it, send it as a PDF format attachment (for which you will probably need additional software. There's a free PDF download tool for Word 2007. If you are pasting into a web form it is probably better to paste it into Notepad first and reformat there. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Michele wrote: Does the Word file, .doc or .docx, affect the format of the recipient, message?
