Re: PROBLEM: 12.1 version of Word 2008 will not open WinWord .doc

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Try this text Create a document on a PC and convert it to a zip file. now send it to Mac computer and use Thunderbird or Firefox to download it But don't have either to post process the document just save it to a downloads folder.

Now open that folder and double click on the zip file. then double click on the resultant file and see whether it opens the file.

Or end me one using Office2007 as an docx, and zip it. send to me I'll open it in 2008 and see What happens. If it works then the files are getting mangled by mis configured servers in between.

DOCX is so new there are probably many servers out in the world don't know it exist yet.

I couldn't find a .doc received in Thunderbird 2.0.0.12, but an .xlsx file came up with a blank type/creator. An older .xls file came up XLS/XCEL, possibly old enough to have been downloaded before my last TB update.

FYI: Sent myself a .doc, created as W8BN, sent via Entourage, downloaded in Thunderbird 2.0.012, file type now set to WDBN.
