  1. Files Downloading with the Wrong Extension


    Whenever I download .zip files, they get saved as .bbz that is the extension that goes with the BrailleBlaster program I use for Braille transcription. It's not a huge issue because I can just change the extension in the downloads folder, and it works fine, but it's annoying to have to do every time and confusing because I don't know why it's doing this.I don't remember doing anything that might cause the issue and it's been happening for at least a month but, as I've had BrailleBlaster for a while but don't download things often, I'm not completely certain whether it's been happening since

  2. Something wrong with downloads?

    maybe list the specific file you are trying to download. I also just grabbed a download with no issues, and good speed.

  3. File extension *.docx

    Hi Randy,

    To change the file extension when saving a document in Word 2013, you may follow the steps below:

    • Click on File; then, select Options from the list.
    • In the Word Options window, choose Save.
    • Under Save files in this format, select *.doc from the list.
    • Hit OK button to confirm and save the changes.

    If ever your Word 2013 application is not recognizing the changes you have made, you may restart the application; however, if the issue still persists, we suggest that you repair it. To do this, see this
    link.

    We would appreciate it if you could get back to us and provide us your feedback.
