Quick Hint on getting started using Microsoft Office 2007. When you first use Word
you will notice a very different menu bar. Take a few minutes and play around with the
options so that you will become familiar. Notice that to Save a document you must click
on the Icon in the very upper left of the menu bar to view the save options. This icon is
highlighted with arrows in the image below.

IMPORTANT - File Saving Information

Office 2007 saves files with a slightly different file extension. Example: Previous Word
files had the extension .doc – but by default Office 2007 saves Word files as .docx. This
is critical for you to understand because Office 2007 files with .docx extensions are NOT
COMPATIBLE with previous Office versions. Students and colleagues using older
versions of Office must install a “Viewer” to view these files. Therefore, it is
Recommended that you save files in the older office .doc extension format. To save a
Word file in the same format of Previous Office versions (.doc), click the icon in the
upper left of the menu bar to show Save options, mouse over the Save as option, and then
select Word 97-2003 Document option.

4
To save as your file in the .docx format, select Word Document format from the options
in the Save as listing.

If you are not using Office 2007 and receive a .docx formatted document, you may
view the file but installing the Microsoft Compatibility pack at
