First, I wanted to kiss you. lmaooooooooo You have NO idea how much I was fretting over this! When I put that folder into a winzip file and attached it, I thought for sure you were going to say there was nothing you could do! lol
Second, I have no idea what you are telling me
When I save, I make sure it's in .docx and then I shifted to using .doc so it could be used at work. I don't understand how it saved it as the folder thing you are talking about...and I don't understand how to change it back...
When I saved it as a .docx on my desktop...it showed the pic of the Word document. Not a folder. Then a couple of weeks later I came back and noticed it was now a folder of documents that were not the Word document I had saved.
So you are saying, in order to turn it back into my Word doc, I have to go into the folder and save each item as a rename them "zip.docx"? I know I didn't understand that right. UGH! I'm sorry for not catching on!

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.
