I recently upgraded my old version of Office to the latest one. Everything worked out fine and I began to write some articles as usual. I do write articles for a friend of mine.
After finishing and saving some of the articles I send them to him by email. He replied an hour later telling me that he was unable to open the files that I send him. They were apparently docx files and not the usual doc files that I used to send.
So, Microsoft changed the default format for the Word documents from doc to docx which puts everyone with an old version to the test. The old versions can't open those new files.
A quick research on the Internet revealed the article ways to open docx documents which had a link to the Microsoft Office compatibility pack.
I send my friend that link and he was finally able to view the new docx files after installing the upgrade from Microsoft.
