Question

I was sent a docx file..Cant open it..I have Office and word and adobe...What am I missing? what program do i need to open this file?

Answer 1

Word 2007 or 2008, or an earlier version of Word with the plugin to add support for Docx ( http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/H... ) , or the beta version of OpenOffice 3 ( http://openoffice.org/ ).

Answer 2

Docx is the new format used by Office 2007.  You can download a "filter" for this document type to be used by earlier versions of Office from Microsoft's website.  See source for a link.

Answer 3

You will need an office version bigger than 2003.

Docx is not available for older versions.

However, there are free versions of Office Viewer applications to download from microsoft.

But they do only allow you to open the document, not edit it.

Answer 4

the docx is the extension for word documents save in the 2007 format (XML). if your machine have a previous verison you will not be able to open the file.
