In Office 2007 Microsoft introduced a new file format called the Microsoft Open Office XML Format (.docx). This format is not compatible with older versions of Microsoft Word or with alternative operating systems like Linux or Mac OS X. Nor is it compatible with other word processing applications like OpenOffice, Lotus 123, or NeoOffice.
Docx-converter.com offers a portable solution for your compatability needs. It will convert a Microsoft Office .docx file into a plain textfile. It strips out the formatting, but at least you will be able to view the contents of .docx files without the need for Microsoft Word 2007.
