Saving Word doc in Vb.net

Question

I am very new to Vb and I got faced with an issue when saving text from a text box into a word doc. The document saves fine wherever I want it to save but when I open it pops up with

This is the code for the save

Private Sub BtnSave_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BtnSave.Click
    Dim SaveDialog As New SaveFileDialog
    SaveDialog.Filter = "Word Document (*.docx)|*.docx|Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc)|*.doc|Plain Text (*.txt)|*.txt"
    SaveDialog.ShowDialog()
    If SaveDialog.FileName <> "" Then
        Dim writer As New StreamWriter(SaveDialog.FileName)
        writer.WriteLine(TxtPreviewcertificate.Text)
        writer.Close()
    End If
End Sub

End Class If anyone could help me with this please let me know, thanks.

docx files are not simple text files. Save your file with txt extension — Steve, Jul 15 '18 at 16:45
you could use interop...xml sdk...or other 3rd parties to create word docs...https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19656626/how-do-i-create-the-docx-document-with-microsoft-office-interop-word — Ctznkane525, Jul 15 '18 at 17:23

I changed it from .docx to doc

SaveDialog.Filter = "Word Document (*.docx)|*.docx|Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc)|*.doc|Plain Text (*.txt)|*.txt"
