[QUOTE="KellyMac, post: 1040225, member: 148598"] 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. [/QUOTE]
