Hi, I need help asap!! I have to submit an assignment as a word document (.doc) and I have a Mac. I tried different things online but when I save it in my computer becomes a .docx . My instructor told me already I need to send it as a .doc! What app should I get so I can create word documents with my mac? Thanks in advance :)

OpenOffice might just do the trick ...

Apache OpenOffice for MacOS X

It may be able to take the .docx and save it as a .doc.

Cheers ... McBie

Isn't .docx just an more modern version of .doc? I don't use Word, but it seems to me that the new Word saves as .docx by default, but can open/save .doc.

You are using Office 2011 or 2008?

Go into Preferences > Save and choose to save in Word1997-2004 .doc rather than .docx. To use .docx it was necessary to have Open XML file installed and Windows users seem pretty vague on this.
