Title: CiC's please read (just a suggestion)
Post by: Gaidin on February 28, 2008, 04:10:32 AM

Many of the people who fly FSO do not have the ability to open .docx documents.

If you use MS Office 2007, please use the saveasPDF  plugin from microsoft to save documents as .pdf before you send them out.  This will make it very simple to open as most have acrobat reader, and if they don't is free to download.

The saveasPDF plug in can be found here, its free as well.



Office 2007 Save As PDF (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/CD101950461033.aspx)

Just a suggestion that would help some guys out.

You can also download the Compatibility Pack (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en)  from Microsoft which will allow you to open docx in older versions of Word. Which is free.

:p

This is true, but alot of people do not use MS Office, and MS works(ships commonly with PC's as a wordproccessing program) doesn't have a combatability pack that I know of.

I could be wrong though.
