When attaching a document the attachment comes up with a doc"x" . The x is
added and others cannot read or open the document. Why and how do I stop it
from occurring.
 
You are using the new version of Word, it uses the docx format instead of
doc, it can't be opened unless you have the newest version, or they can
download an opener from MS.
 
When you Save, do a "Save As" - select Word 2003 format.
It will save the file in the old format.
This way people with the old version of Word can read it.

docX stands for Document in XML format.
This is the new future standard and the default for Word 2007.
 
Thank you so much.....what a frustrating thing that was. Icreated an invite
in a flyer format....after a little work and was bummed that no one could
open it. Thank you, Thank you.
