I posted this mostly because of the new versions of OFFICE 2007
that have an X in the end of the extension,
for example .DocX instead of .Doc

This new format has some tricks that the old one cannot do, and it
compresses the file
"on the fly"

of course these are proprietary formats and many freeware enthusiasts may
dislike them..

but it MAY happen that someone sends you this type of format and you will
need to view it...

Of course for non 2007 formats, there is always openoffice from
www.openoffice.org
that is open source and very good

I have a compaq laptop that came with vista and office 2007 trial, i guess.
I say that because it keeps asking for product key to install or buy. This
laptop is connected to my network where xp is in use on the gateway pc and
the two word/office programs dont communicate. I want to do work on both
computers on the same documentw but currently am unable to. How can I
rectify this?
