Ever searched around looking for the mime-type for the newer Microsoft Word .docx file type?  Search no more. It comes in handy for web development when you have an uploader app in PHP or ASP and need to determine the file type. Tested in PHP and works perfect. Hope this saves someone some time searching.

.docx
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document

.doc (old school word)
application/msword
