Hi Synful,

When Word 2010s saves a document in the new docx format, the document actually consists of a zip archive containing the file's various parts in xml format. You can see this if you take any docx file, change its extension to zip and open it from Windows Explorer. That's what you've posted, except that the zip file now includes 'MONKEY BREAD RECIPE' in the path - merely changing the extension of the attachment back to docx isn't sufficient for Word to open the attachment. If you save the contents of each document's 'folder' back to a zip file (thus getting rid of the filename as part of the path name) and change the extension to docx, Word should be able to open it. See attached.

File Type: docx MONKEY BREAD RECIPE.docx (12.9 KB, 21 views)
