Microsoft
developed the Word document format in the early 1980s. The *.doc standard is
ubiquitous: more than 90% of all businesses, schools and government offices
use this format. By using the same format, it does not matter what version
of Microsoft Word you have on your computer. It didn't even matter if the
document is written on a Windows PC or a Macintosh. In 2007, Microsoft
Office made a significant upgrade to the new docx, or extended HTML format. When you create a new Word document, it is a .docx
file, not the common .doc file. This
means, people who do NOT have Office 2007 can NOT read your
file. They would need to download the free Word reader.
If you
want other offices or departments to read your Word 2007
document, you have to change the File Type to Word 97-2003
to create a common .doc file. |
