	I have no idea what Office 2007 does with it's Word files. 
For all I know they changed it to another editor all together. 
That would be stupid but Microsoft is so big it does stupid 
things.

	But I do not think so. So if the collage needs a x at the end 
of .docx ,like that, give it to them. OO writes in it's own 
type of file. Then you use save as to make it a Microsoft file 
and it ends in .doc as it has for years.

	I have answered questions from all versions of Microsoft 
Office in just .doc and had zero problems. I get .ppp Power 
Point made by Office and they all open and run right in OO.
