Re: OT - quick question for MS Office users on a PC
On 4/2/13, Godfrey DiGiorgi, discombobulated, unleashed: .. and on OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion, Pages and TextEdit know how to open .docx files now. I don't have any MS products installed, but between Pages, TextEdit, Numbers, and KeyNote, I can read all the current MS app files from Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and output to compatible format files as well. Thanks mate, and thanks to all who responded - helps greatly. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) |Web Video Producion --www.seeingeye.tv _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Many thanks. You should be able to. The drop down menu may not make that clear. I think .docx was introduced with Office/Word 2003. If you choose save as an Office/Word 2000 or Office/Word 97 document it should be a .doc file. Nope, Office 2003 was my last purchased version and it doesn't natively support docx files. Gotta download an import filter which then alters the files so that they lose functionality. Not that I want a lot of functionality in a word processing document anyway. -- Buy a Leica to get the full “Leica Experience”, (a quick reduction of funds in the bank account). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I'm pretty sure even the latest version of Office will let you do that. (I know it did until Office 2008, which is the last version I taught.) I think it can even let you do that as *default*. I haven't upgraded my version of Office in donkey's years. I keep a copy of Open Office on hand for opening and creating newer format Office documents (and then re-save them in the old format). -- Mark Roberts - Photography Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
