docx to doc
 

Need some help please!

Just did some work for someone which they sent to me in an e-mail, i have Vista and realised i didn't have MS word so i downloaded the 60 day trial of 2007. I sent the finished work back only to be told they have and old version of word and can't open .docx files! How can i convert them all to .doc?!!?

I tried zamzar.com but it's pretty rubbish.

File->Save As, change the extension to .doc ?

Ahhhh just noticed there's an option to save as a word 97 - 2003 doc!

Thank you, i feel dumb lol.

..or save it as .rtf (rich text format)

Doesn't support as many extras as the .doc extension however and as his aim is to get it a client who can load .docs there didn't seem to be any reason to lower the barrier further :)

Get them to install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats:

I didn't think the trial version of office 2007 allowed you to convert files from docx to doc? I have a user with it and it wouldn't let him (though he wasn't overly computer literate).
