Best Answer

Microsoft's Word Program uses the '.doc' file extension for all version of Word up to 2007. The new 2007 Word program uses '.docx', which makes this kind of file incompatible with previous versions of Word, however there is something called a Word Viewer (downloadable online) to enable you to view this new type of file. The reason this new file type was created, is because Microsoft Word 2007+ can do many more things than the previous versions, therefore if the file extensions were the same, an old version of Microsoft Word could try to open the file that it doesn't understand, and could crash. Microsoft doesn't want this to happen.

The files ending in .DOC are the designation for Word 2003 (and earlier). Files ending in .DOCX are the newer version files. The .DOCX files are a different format of file altogether.

If you want, you can rename a .DOCX (or .XLSX) file to have a .ZIP extension, then double click it and it will open up the ZIP archive and show the other files.
