Microsoft Word Problem?

I have an assignment for my IT class, and the professor wants us to turn in the file as ".docx".





I'm assuming that is on Microsoft 2007, which I don't have. People tell me to download the trial version for now. Others tell me when I save the file just to save it as "Name.docx" Would typing it just work? Or do I need Microsoft 2007. I'm planning on buyinga new laptop soon, they come with Vista and all the new Microsoft Office Applications, so I'll have it soon, but in the mean time do I download the trial version, or does it work typing ".docx" manually when I save the file? Thanks for any help, much appreciated!

Microsoft Word Problem?
docx refers to a word 2007 document.


Your professor could open your doc file in word 2007 without any problem.

and give the url to your professor
Reply:Saving as a .docx file won't produce .docx FORMAT. Some people think that the file name is what's important. It's not.





A trial version for now is the way to go. As someone else said, it should be good for 25 uses or 30-, 60- or 90- days. Check the license agreement for specifics.





Hope that helps.
Reply:.docx is a Office 2007 word's file extension. Now the software is easily available is the market it works on xp also. You can download trail version if you want.
Reply:For now, I would download the trial version. By the way, new computers do not come with a full version of Office, just a trial. Usually this trial version allows you to open it 25 times, and then you'll have to pay for it or it won't function.
Reply:Why not download the trial version and also, in case you don't want to do that, the compatibility programme. Incidentally, you are under a misapprehension. You will not get Office on your computer unless you.pay for it. You will get Vista yes, and if you're lucky you will be given Works, but they are not going to give you a £600 package of Office 2007 with all the programs in it. Student version you can get for under £100 but it only has Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote
