Sexton Hardcastle Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 think its the difference between office 2003 and 2007. you can save them as a .doc if you need to tho. Save as - then change the file type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CompleteIdiot Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Thanks alot mate... your a leg-end.... saved me a lot of hassle. There's an update to MS Office 2003 that allows .docx to be read. You should maybe contact IT (or whoever deals with it) and tell them that. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941b3470-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466&displaylang=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
