Default Extra "x" on .doc extension - friend cannot open document

I created a Word document at home on 2007 - sent it to a friend and sent
myself at work a cc. Friend can't open document, but I can (on 2003). I
noticed a .docx extension on the forwarded attachment. How do I remove that,
and is that what is causing the problem?

Word 2007 uses a new file type by default. Earlier versions of Word need to
have the Compatibility Pack installed to read them - this is available free
from Microsoft (see
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...isplaylang=en).
Alternatively, you can save documents in the old format (Office Button
Save As Word 97-2003 format)
