POSTING WORD 2007 DOCUMENTS ON YOUR WEBSITE

QUESTION:
I'm having problems when I try to open the student handbook on my website. It wants to open as a zip file. Why?

ANSWER:
For some reason, Word 2007 files are not particularly user-friendly on a website. When I try to open a Word 2007 file on a website, I get an illogical question in a dialog box on both my computers (one without Word 2007 and one with). No, Mr. Computer, I don't want to open a zip file; I want to open a Word file! Hello! If I try to open the "zip" file, I see a folder displaying three folders and an xlm file--none of which happens to be of the slightest interest (or use) to me. Until this problem is resolved, you will need to post your files as html, Word 2003, or pdf.
