Office for Mac does not by default save files with file extensions.

In Word, PowerPoint, or Excel:

- Save your document (or if it is already saved, click Save As:).  The Save window will appear.  Name your document and click the down arrow.
- At the lower left corner of the window is a Hide extension check box.

1. UNCHECK Hide extension.
2. MAKE SURE that the file extension appears.
3. Click Save.
