VB: Is this the DOCX? It confused the hell out of my mom I can tell
you.
LU: It is driving people in the office and my office CRAZY, because
every once in a while, a docx file shows up. Now if you want to open
it you got to download the compatibility module for Office 2003.
SR: And its not just DOCX too, I get people sending me PPTX. "I cant
open this PowerPoint, could you open it and rename it, save it to
your disk and resend it back to me so that I can open it?"
VB: My dad installed the newest version of office on my Mom's
computer at home, and she's not techie, but she uses Word everyday.
And suddenly all her files were DOCX. And she was trying to open
things, and send things to co-workers, and she just couldn't figure
it out. ...
By the way, Dvorak's starting to look like Gary Busey or Nick Nolte.
Not quite like Al Davis, yet.
