Try again, Pat. I added "docx" as an accepted file attachment.

Its been around awhile......

In Office 2007 Microsoft introduced a new file format called the Microsoft Open Office XML Format (.docx). This format is not compatible with older versions of Microsoft Word or with alternative operating systems like Linux or Mac OS X. Nor is it compatible with other word processing applications.

There are also .xlsx (MS Excel) and .pptx (MS Powerpoint) counterparts to go with this .docx (MS Word) XML format.

There was a compatibility package pushed by Microsoft as I remember to insure compatibility with other systems.

Thanks, Mary. The document attached without a problem.

So I guess my Instructional (another thread) won't be seen unless you have MS Word 2007? Too bad, it was a classic (LOL)
