From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT, HKEX: 4338) is a multinational computer technology corporation that develops, manufactures, licenses, and supports a wide range of software products for computing devices. Headquartered in Redmond, Washington, USA, its most profitable products are the Microsoft Windows operating system and the Microsoft Office suite of productivity software. The company was founded in 1975, to develop and sell BASIC interpreters for the Altair 8800. Microsoft rose to dominate the home computer operating system market with MS-DOS in the mid-1980s, followed by the Windows line of operating systems. Many of its products have achieved near-ubiquity in the desktop computer market. One commentator notes that Microsoft's original mission was "a computer on every desk and in every home, running Microsoft software." Microsoft possesses footholds in other markets, with assets such as the MSNBC cable television network, the MSN Internet portal, and the Microsoft Encarta multimedia encyclopedia. The company also markets both computer hardware products such as the Microsoft mouse and the Microsoft Natural keyboard, as well as home entertainment products such as the Xbox, Xbox 360, Zune and MSN TV. The company's initial public stock offering (IPO) was in 1986; the ensuing rise of the company's stock price has made four billionaires and an estimated 12,000 millionaires from Microsoft employees. Throughout its history the company has been the target of criticism, including monopolistic business practices and anti-competitive strategies including refusal to deal and tying. The U.S. Department of Justice and the European Commission, among others, have ruled against Microsoft for antitrust violations. (See also United States v. Microsoft, European Union Microsoft competition case.) From Wikipedia under the

A Word .doc or .docx document, in fact, in any word processor document, contains not only the text you typed in, but all the information necessary to format that text into sentences, paragraphs, headers, footers, and everything else you want to make it look better than a simple text paragraph such as this one. Trouble is, different word processors, even older versions of Word, do all that different ways. All those types, .doc, .docx, .rtf, .txt, are only the external distinction between the documents. The real differences are inside. If Word produced only .docx files, only other copies of Word could read them. To anybody with a different word processor that didn't know how to handle .docx documents, the documents would be sheer junk.… [cont.] Answered by The Phlebob - Wed Nov 25 22:31:17 2009 How to keep microsoft works documents in original format when attaching to email?
