(for both sender and recipient)<br />2.) Consider sending as a PDF, as OpenOffice can save files as PDFs built-in.. <br />3.) MS has a patch for non-office 2007 users that will allow Word 2003 to be able to read the docx format..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9445962.post-81967123442780026542009-06-23T20:43:14.303-05:002009-06-23T20:43:14.303-05:00I run Word 2007 at home and in the office and I ha...I run Word 2007 at home and in the office and I have set it up so that it saves as the older .doc by default. So for you Word 2007 users who do not wish to annoy our pre-2007 friends, here's how to change it so it saves as the good ol' .doc by default:<br /><br />1) click on the "Microsoft Office" logo button on the top-left.<br /><br />2) click "Word Options"<br /><br />3) Click "Save" in the left pane, then select "Word 97-2003 Documents" from the drop down.<br /><br />4) Click "OK" and you're done.<br /><br />Now whenever you save a document in Word 2007, it will by default save it in the older and more readable .doc format, likely with no loss of functionality at all.<br /><br />I hope that's helpful! :)Mark Sohmerhttp://resources.sohmer.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9445962.post-27923022408359490252009-06-23T16:17:09.294-05:002009-06-23T16:17:09.294-05:00Hey Al - a good tip, as I don't think docx is ...Hey Al - a good tip, as I don't think docx is a good standard yet. However, if you need to open a file from Office 2007, you can download a converter software that will let you open these files with Office 2003.
