Converting Microsoft Word .doc files to .docx

1. Navigate to the Word document you would like to convert and open it.

2. Once you have opened it, go to File and then Save As.

3. Choose where you would like to save the file. You can change the location by clicking the folder above your document’s name, as pictured below. From there you can save the file anywhere you would like. At this point you may also change the document’s name and the file type.

4. After you have chosen the save location, change the document’s name (if necessary) and from the file type drop-down menu in a recent version of Word, choose Word Document. This will convert your document to a .docx file.
