Zipped email attachments
Does anyone know how to change the way my Word and Excel files are attaching
to my emails? They keep showing up as ".docx" and ".xlsx" instead of simply ".doc" and ".xls" I just got Office 2007, so I'm wondering if that is why they are uploading in zipped formats? I can open them on any computer that has the 2007 suite, but anyone that doesn't have the new 2007 version can't read the files at all. Help?? |

The .docx and .xlsx formats are the new ones introduced for Office 2007 (see
http://office.microsoft.com/search/r...respos=2&rt=2). You can still save in the older format. Go into the Options dialog of each program and selecting the Office 97-2003 format as the default for saving documents. However, you won't be able to save some of the new features that way. You can save any specific document in the new format by choosing it at the bottom of the File Save As dialog. As more of your recipients upgrade to 2007, you can change the default back to the new format, and save specific documents in the old format for those who need it. The article I cited also tells you how users of older versions can get the Compatibility Pack so they can open 2007 format files. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. becky1407 wrote: Does anyone know how to change the way my Word and Excel files are attaching to my emails?
