I am using microsoft office 08 to email papers for college to the professor. I save the file as a docx. I have also saved as a .doc and sent it. When trying to open the file on a pc with xp. it goes like this:
A box will pop up asking to open or save file
Name:title of paper
Type: Compressed (zipped) folder, 30.0 kb
From:
So I click open, another box pops up asking if i want to save the file
Name: title of paper
Type: unknown file type, 30.0kb
From:
Only has option to save or cancel so i press save
A save as box opens so I save it to my documents on the pc
saving- title of document.docx
Next it states download complete and I click the open box to open the file.
Next window that pops up states:
Windows cannot open this file:
File: title of document.docx
then asks if I want the web to find the program
or select program from a list
I cannot figure out why this is happening. I really need to get this stuff turned in. I should mention that it does open on a pc if I send it as a pdf but thats not the way the prof wants it.
Thanks for the help and sorry for the huge post but I wanted to be descriptive.
