I edtied a document of mine and put it in a new document. When I sent the
"new" document in an email, it showed as a "docx". At least one person could
not open the docx. What is the difference between a "doc" and a "docx"?

..docx is created by Word 2007 and is Microsoft latest proprietary
document incarnation. If you want users of pre-2007 versions to read
your documents, save as .doc instead of .docx. Users of pre-2007
versions of Office can download and install the Compatibility Pack to
read your .docx file but you can't guarantee that they have done so.
