Re: Choosing between Word Formats

For now Doc is the more like to receive a safe trip. perhaps 90% of PC
users have remained with PC Office version below 2007 (the non XML type)

And 2008 isn't receiving a warm reception either due to leaving out VBA
and for all intents and purposes kill Macros depending upon VBA.

So I'd find out from the person you wan to send to if they have Office
2007 or Office 2008 (XML version or 2003 PC/2004 Mac. Send DOCX to
2007/2008 users and DOC to everyyyy one else.

And to be on safe side to keep from getting mangled in the Transfer Zip
the file before sending even if it makes the file larger.

I can't decide whether to save documents as .doc or .docx.

I do interchange documents frequently with people who have pc based operating systems; also, many of my documents were created on a pc based operating system.

What are the pros and cons of saving documents each way?

Thanks very much.
