This is why there was so much nonsense with the introduction of OOXML in 
MS Office - as "display file extensions" is off by default (why one 
wonders?), people were sending OOXML documents to recipients who had MSO 
2003 or earlier, not knowing that the document was *.docx instead of 
*.doc, and of course the recipients couldn't open them!

Typical MS.....
