Although it is a courtesy to your recipients to save it back in the
earlier format, as long as they have Word 2000 or above, they can
download the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint 2007 File Formats from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en.
This will permit them to open .docx files.

Thank you.


And AFAIK an added advantage of using the compatibility pack is that you get
all the extra fonts that are in 2007 and not in prior versions...
