Any way to get the MS word documents available in the code downloads for your book in a standard MS word Doc format?

This sounds like a good idea.

I think we originally did everything in the 2007 format because some of the labs required actual 2007 file formats (Ex Uploading a Report to Excel Services). However I do not believe providing the documents in .doc format will be a problem.

Please give us a week or so to resave files and submit for uploading and we will try and get you what you need.

Thanks for your query and I hope you are finding the book helpful.
