More and more users are ugrading their Word programs to newer versions. Some time ago I received a document that had a docx file and I could not open it. After pulling out a few strands of hair, and some searching the solution is really quite simple so am sharing ....
If you use Word 2003 or an earlier version of the program, all you need is the Microsoft Office compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File formats.
Designed for use with Office 2000, XP, and 2003, the downloadable add-on allows you to open, edit, and save the newer file formats, seamlessly converting the files on the fly and in the background. Just make sure that your copy of Office is equipped with all of the latest updates from Microsoft before you install the Compatibility Pack.
