Default .docx file extension

I thank you all for your responses. When I save a document, the .docx
extention does not appear in the file name. Furthermore, in the "Save as
type" drop down list, .docx does not even appear. Do I have a problem here?

If you don't do anything special, when you save a document in Word 2007, you
will get a file with the .docx extension, as that is the default file format
for Word 2007. In order to save in the older .doc format, you have to
specifically choose "Word 97-2003 Document."

Hi,

I am using Word 2007. How do I save a document in Word 2007 with the file
extension .docx, and what does the file extension .docx mean?

Thank you.
