[Yr11 Information Technology] jacaranda timeline - outcome 2 doc

Thu Feb 15 10:07:42 EST 2007

hey all

here i am reposnding to my own query! lol (one of our techs checked it out)

Ok, I have gend up on this docx thing. Word 2007 is capable of saving files=
 in 2 formats. .DOC and .DOCX. The latter is an XML open-format which allows=
 any open source text editor to read word 2007 files. To boot, the saved fil=
e is usually much smaller than the same file would be saved in .DOC format.=

  hi wayne and every1

  the file on the vitta site is now a normal .doc and downloads fine 

  i also downloaded the file converter u suggested and tried to run it but i=
t would not run on my machine so i dont know what's going on there

  how many people out there are already running office 2007 anyway?

   have MS really chaged the file extension to .docx?
