This format as you probably know is from the newer versions of Microsoft Word and Office. A lot of us have older versions of Office and Word and cannot easily open the .docx files nor some of the newer Power Point and Excel files either. However, there is a free software available from Oracle software that allows us to all be able to view and create those new files (did I mention the free part). [|http://www.openoffice.org] The software takes about 30 minutes to download and load on most computers (depending on your internet access speeds of course). I found it helped us to be able to get the files from your site without having to buy the Microsoft Office upgrade (saved a lot of cash). If you have any other parents concerned about the file incompatibility issue and the cost of the newer Office upgrades, you can let them know this is available for their use if they are interested. // I hope this helps you all! Thank you to this parent for sharing this! // J
