[BC] O/S Question

[Sid Schweiger]

>>do you or anyone  else on the list know the extension used by Office 
2007?  I've been  receiving an increasing number of attachments recently at 
work with the  extension *.docx rather than the standard Winders Orifice  *.doc<<

Word:  .DOCX
Excel:  .XLSX
PowerPoint:  .PPTX
Access:  .MDBX
 
>>If the problem with *.docx files is because of formatting unique to  Office 
2007, it is a prime example of newer isn't always better if it  isn't backwards 
Compatible.<<

As I and others have already suggested, download the *free* Office 2007 Compatibility Pack.  IIRC Microsoft also makes available free viewers for each of the above-listed file formats.
