Rana, Another consideration for those who may not have any version of Word is to save the file in RTF format. That will open in anyone's word processor. Another universal format is PDF. You can't convert the file to PDF on Word 2007 (I think), but you can convert it online free at this web site: http://www.pdfonline.com/ Woody ============== [email protected] writes: Rana- There is nothing wrong with writing/creating a document in Word 2007 (.docx) format. If you later send it to someone who doesn't have the most recent version of Word you can always do a "save as" and create a new file that is compliant with earlier Word versions (.doc format).

I am thinking of family members who might not have Word '07. Will they be able to read that article? What is recommended?
