saving a file with the extension
I've just upgraded to Word 2016 (16.16.27). Everything is fine, except when I save a file, the extension (e.g. .doc, .docx) is not attached to the filename. Previously it did that, and I considered that useful. That is, when I save a Word file, I want it to be saved as "document.docx", and not "document". There must be a preference setting to do that, but I can't find it. Help?

Change your operating system display settings. You want to view extensions for known file types. This is not a Word setting.
Your file is being saved as .docx, but you are not seeing it. |

The OP looks to have a Mac so I think the standard Windows response won't be valid. Doug Does this link help? File name extensions don't appear with file name - Microsoft Community

Charles is right. This is a MacOS setting. But I don't think I ever changed it.
Are you saying that the extension display is ONLY an operating system issue? That's interesting. I was thinking that I could set up my system to display doc and docx, but not display other extensions. Maybe not. |

The thread I pointed you at spoke to this being an MS Office Preferences/General setting.

Oh my goodness, you're exactly right. That's precisely what I was looking for. I can't understand how I managed to overlook it. It's right there is Preferences-General. Thank you! There IS a Mac OS setting to do this for ALL files, but that's not what I wanted.
