docx and docs
Further to the question a couple of days ago, my question is now I am running
Office 2007 when I send a Word document it has the extension .docx. Most people cannot open it if they don't have Word 2007. I have the old .doc and can use both. How can I send a Word document that others can open please? Thanks. |

docx and docs
Other users can download the FREE compatibility pack for Word 2000 to 2003.
This not only gives them the ability to open the new formats, but gives them the new font sets ensuring full layout compatibility. You can then continue using docx format. If some users are unable to do this, then change the default to Word Doc format under Word Options. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Pussy2" wrote in message ...

Click on the Office button and then on Word Options and then on Save and in
the Save files in this format: pulldown, select Word 97-2003 Document (*'doc) -- Hope this helps.
