Word files saved on my iMac are not recognized by PC's
I've been getting messages back from friends that tell me Word files saved on
my iMac and attached to e-mails cannot be opened by their PC's. The files saved on the iMac have a .docx extension. Do I have to "Save As" with a .doc extension? |

It may not be a Mac vs PC thing but a docx vs doc thing.

If MacWord works in the same way as Word 2007 (in this regard), then it's either you saving the files in *.doc or the recipient installing the Office Compatibility pack which can be found he http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |

Robert:
Thanks for replying. My wife and I just got iMacs and have installed Office for Mac 2008. We have been experimenting and found that if we save the files as Word 97 files, other people can read them. The Mac saves the files as *.docx. Apparently only Mac's can read that type of file. "Robert M.
