Note: If none of your file names have extensions, file extensions are hidden. If the file extension you are using is not listed below, you may find the information by looking in the software manual or software application's Web site. Note: This list is by no means a complete and exhaustive list of file extensions. For example, if you have a Word 6 MAC OS X document named letter that you want to open in Windows, you need to rename the file letter.docx so that Word in Windows will recognize and open the file. If you want to open a MAC OS X file in Windows, you may need to add the extension to a MAC OS X file name so Windows can recognize it. For example, the doc extension tells your computer that the file is a Microsoft Word file.
For example, in letter.docx the filename is letter and the extension is docx. Extensions are important because they tell your computer what icon to use for the file, and what application can open the file. The extension is a three- or four-letter abbreviation that signifies the file type.
Windows file names have two parts the file's name, then a period followed by the extension (suffix).
