Do we have any computer geeks on the board? I only know the basics. So, I am having trouble with my Word Docs. They are saving as .docx documents, instead of .doc documents, and people are having trouble opening them. Any suggestions?

Are you using Word 2007? If so, when you press the icon to save the document, a "Save As" window should pop up. Down at the bottom of the window click on "Save as type:" Click on "Word 97-2003 Document", then click the "Save" button. When you save it in this format (.doc), people who have an older version of Word can open it. Let me know if this helps.
