Rykie Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Hi PolyannaI do not like office 2007 just for that reason. The extentions in Word and Excel are different to previous versions of Office - just save it as a previous version - but you probably know that nowRykie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jongman Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) Best bet is to set the default save on Office 2007 to .odt. Thats the universal open source document extension. Or just save as .doc.We have se same problem. I'm a Linux user and some of the guys in the office use Office 2007. So we have set a standard just to make sure the problem doesn't happen to us.

Please help ThanksKimYou are not alone Kim,I discovered (late !) last night you can or tell the recipient to change the file extension on word & excel documents with ".docx" & ".xml" extensions to ".rtf" = rich text format, which also seems pretty universally recognised as well.
