.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?

you like. -- Greg Maxey - Word MVP My web site http://gregmaxey.mvps.org Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org McCain/Palin '08 !!! Michele wrote: I just want to post a question.

.doc vs .docx
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.

.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.

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?
