.docx and OpenOffice

7/21/2008 02:49:00 PM
.docx is the file extension for Word Microsoft Office Open XML Format Document.

To convert Microsoft Office Word 2007 .docx or .docm files so that they'll work with Microsoft Office Word 2003, Word 2002, or Word 2000, you can install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for 2007 Office Word. After converting, the file will be readable in OpenOffice.

The DailyBlahBlahBlah blog has a few other suggestions -- Zamzar, Docx2doc and other online converters.

The upcoming OpenOffice 3.0 will support the file format when it is expected to be released in the fall of 2008.
