Types of documents

Any user of the computer knows that the Microsoft word is the most popular word processing form. Microsoft has monopolised this market since the introduction of its office suite and continues to add richer versions into it. From the introduction of Microsoft till the 2010 version, this word processor has added many new features to it and yet continues to hold sway of the word processing market. There are three main versions available with MS Word. The extensions for the three are .docx, .docm and .doc. The .doc is the oldest of the three types and is compatible with all Microsoft versions. This extension gives the user access to all basic functions but does not allow rich formatting (information about font, colour, etc.), macros (short one - step commands for oft - repeated actions) or web text.

The other two

There are two other types of documents, which are of use in Microsoft word. They are the .docm and .docx formats. The .docm format is compatible only with the latest of MS Word. This has incorporated all the latest features of word and rich text formatting in it. The star feature of this format is the presence of many macros which serve as templates for multi – step operations to be performed in a single step. Hot keys, shortcuts and function keys allow the usage of these macros on MS Word. The third format type present in MS Word is the .docx format. This is compatible with both MS 2007 and 2010. This .docx format allows rich text format and conforms to the XML standard as well. This XML standard is necessary for easy electronic publication of text documents on the internet.

Protection of such documents

With all the effort taken to write rich text and specialized text for easy publication, it is imperative that these documents be protected. Data recovery must be possible in case of accidental deletion of documents of all these types. Hence, it is important to invest in a data recovery software which will take care of these problems.
