Recently
Microsoft released
Ms Office 2010, but most of them are still using
MS Office 2003.They have not even upgraded to
Ms Office 2007. Ms Office 2007 default
file format are
.pptx .xlsx .docx files.
Ms office 2003 or other earlier versions doesn’t support this file format.Here I provide
3 easy solutions to open docx file format.
1. Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack
Microsoft released a tool named
“Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack” ,Using this tool you can convert
office 2007 files to the
compactable file format for older versions.
2. OpenOffice
OpenOffice is a
multi-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) and multi-lingual office suite which is compatible with all
major office suites (i.e. Microsoft Office). It includes
Writer (
word processing),
Impress (presentation),
Math, Draw, Calc (spreadsheet), and
Base applications.You can open and edit
MS Office 2007 Docx file format in OpenOffice.
Ubuntu Linux comes with OpenOffice
Software.
3. DevVicky Word 2010
DevVicky Word 2010 is another
freeware application that can also open DOCX formats. It is a
lightweight application when compared to
OpenOffice.org, and is much lighter when compared to
MS Office as well. This is another cool way of opening Docx file format.
Its better you switch over to
Ms Office 2007 or
Ms Office 2010.
