At Elmwood we have Word 2007 running on our Windows PCs and Word 2008 on our new MacBooks. Unfortunately Microsoft has decided to change the file format for the latest version. When you save a Word document in these new versions by default it will try save as a .docx file. These files can only be opened by people who also have the newest version of word at home. Luckily its pretty easy to save your Word documents in the old .doc file format.

  • tnx man i sub

  • helped alot, thanks man

  • nice video. I have received many emails with the Office 2007/2008 extensions and I was still stuck at Office 2004 for awhile, but got OpenOffice 3 afterwards. When I got my new Macbook Pro, with Office 2008, I took the same steps you describe, it was easy to figure out on my own through exploring, but I set the default as RTF instead of DOC.
