docx and doc
In word 2007, does working on a .docx version of a .doc version provide me
any advantages? I have some files in .doc and I am working on it for a long time. What will I gain by converting it to the .docx format?

docx and doc
docx is an open XML format and is far more resilient than previous formats.
It was also be more compact because it is several files in a zip wrapper with the docx extension. If you change the extension to .zip, you can open the file and see all its components. You will also be able to use all of Word 2007's features which .doc doesn't support. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "minimus" wrote in message ...
