Everyone said .docx was a zip file.  You said it contains a .doc.

It doesn't. It contains XML files.

I don't.  You said they do that I say they don't I provided a list
of all the files contained in a .docx file I just created.  I would
like to see youre .docx fiel that contains a .doc inside.

Like I said, people complained for years about MS proprietary formats
and then they change to XML, a standard, and everyone stil complains.
The nature of religion.
