I have opened and created DOCX documents with a default setup of Microsoft Word 2003 back in 2006. I have also created DOC documents with a default setup of Word for Windows 6.0 back in the 1990s. (Actually, the DOC format dates back even further.) So, *everything* in your statement is wrong: 1. .doc was _not_ introduced with MS Word 97; see also the date in [1]. 2. .doc has _not_ ceased to be supported with Word 2003; it is still supported (read/write) by the more recent versions of Microsoft Word, for example Word 2010 where the “File Type” in the “Save As” dialog is labeled in German „Word 97-2003-Dokument“ because the format was not formally specified before those versions. 3. Office Open XML and its subset Word XML (.docx) were_not_ introduced with Office 2007, but with Office 2003. It only was not the *default* before version 2007 (probably because the Specification was not finished yet). ECMA-376, that is based on it, was approved by the Ecma General Assembly in December 2006. _______ [1] -- PointedEars FAQ: | SVN: Twitter: @PointedEars2 | ES Matrix: Please do not Cc: me. / Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail.
