Opening email attachments with "docx" suffix?
I've tried to send email attachments of Word 2003 documents. When opening
these up, the documents have a "docx" suffix and hotmail.com (and other email) can't open them. What do I need to do? Thanks in advance! -- Miguel R. |

Opening email attachments with "docx" suffix?
If Word adds a docx suffix you are not saving in Word 2003 format but Word
2007 format. To open such documents you need either Word 2007 or the compatibility pack http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/pr...686761033.aspx The probable reason is trying to mail out of Word 2007 instead of saving the document in the required format and attaching it to an e-mail message. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Miguel Reparation wrote: I've tried to send email attachments of Word 2003 documents.
