Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2008DOCX in Word 2004
How can I open/save to these files in Word 2004? Thanks.. Also I think this was a dumb move on MS's part changing formats. Do you know how many employers out there use .doc? I was looking for a job early last year and MANY employers wanted .doc resumes. I'd say the majority only accepted .DOC and would reject PDF or HTML resumes. Well with the exception of job based network boards (monster,hotjobs,careerbuilder), or the employers own website. But most of the jobs I applied too wanted a email resume. Changing formats will complicate things thats for sure. John  SignatureRomans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. CERM-Church Education Resource Ministries http://www.cerm.info Hi John - Just FYI, the new format offers significant advantages over the 10 year old prior format - stability & efficiency being just 2. OOXML is also the standard format in Office 2007, so most companies who weren't using it "early last year" are quite likely using it now or will be in the near future. As for the web sites... Well you might find their requirements changing before long as well. Truth be told, I'd be a bit leery of any employment service or prospective employer who insisted on an easily *editable* resume or other personal document. As for now, you can obtain converters for the .docx files from the Mactopia web site which should work for you if your OS is at least 10.4.8: <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx?pid=Mactopia_Office2004&fid=AB6 6B5BF-37C3-41BB-945E-784782FC582C#viewer> Apple's Pages & Open/NeoOffice (among others) can open & save in he new format as well.

The above link leads to a page with a bunch of downloads without my knowing which one I need! Hello Martha - When you click this link the selected item at the bottom of that page is: Microsoft Office Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 0.2.1 (Beta) Just so happens that's the one you want:-) Scroll to the bottom of the third (Details) column & click the English (.dmg) link.
