4.3 Beta 6: PBB import file type not specific enough
I think that "Word document" is an insufficient label for the type of files that the PBB tool can compile. I have lots of Word documents, but, as I use Office 2003, they are ".doc" not ".docx", and they don't show up. I suggest displaying "Word 2007 document" or showing the file extension "(*.docx)" in the file type description (or both), otherwise new users could be confused.

That is a good point. I will send this on to the Developers.

I also use Office 2003 and wish the PBB supported it. It was confusing but easy to figure out.

Office 2003 (and even Office XP) will save .docx files if you install the free compatibility pack.

Thanks Mark.. that will also benefit me when I get back to Seminary next fall. All my settings are in 2003 and great for academic papers. But sometimes the graders want the digital copy mailed to them in 2007 format.
