JoAnn: Thank you. I read your email from the recipient POV and not
the "creator's" POV. Problem solved.
Muchos gracias!

When sending a Word 2007 document to a Word 1997-2000 recipient,
they receive
an unopenable document with .docx.
What is the solution so that the burden is NOT on the recipient to
have to jump through hoops to open the document?
Thanks.
You can change the default format that the documents are saved as by the
following:-
There is a round button in the top left hand coner of the Word screen, click
on it and then select "Word Options" at the bottom of the window, select
"Save", in the drop down pane labled "Savefiles in this format" select
"Word97-2003 Document (*.doc)", this will change the default format to .doc.
You can also do the same thing for Excell and powerpoint etc.
