Default Posted Word07 file changes to zip file

That did it and thanks! Suzanne thought it was simply a Word issue. Why does
Internet Explorer interfere (for lack of a better description) for docx files
and is fine with doc files?

I posted a very large file saved as a *.docx file in Word 2007. When the
hyperlink to download, open/save the file is clicked, the file shows up as a
*.zip file and cannot be opened. The File Download window has this message:
Do you want to open or save this file? Name: WSR_Speech_Module.zip; Type:
Compressed (zipped) Folders, 5.78MB.

You can find the file at

under the link
http://gdpkeyboarding.com/WordFilesO...ch_Module.docx. Thanks in
advance.


This happens if you use Internet Explorer to download the file. You
can rename it to docx or use a different web browser.

It has to do with the MIME type settings on the web server.
