What to do with those "docx" files
Filed in archive Online Services by Elwyn Jenkins on August 14, 2007

A file with the ".docx" extension, instead of the ".doc" extension, is actually created by using Microsoft Word 2007 and apart from using microsoft word
, up until now, I have not been able to find a program to open files like these.Now, there is another way of handling ".docx" files, and that is through the online service "ThinkFree";. To be able to use the ".docx" files I go to ThinkFree, open the ".docx" file and re-save it to my desktop as an ordinary ".doc" file, then I can open it with my usual Google Docs & Spreadsheets.
It is handy to look in the document as displayed in ThinkFree and to then understand if there is any change when it is saved as a ".doc" file. Most of the files I have opened and saved as a ".doc" have been OK, but one document, for some reason scrambled the document when saved in a ".doc" format.
However, it should be OK most of the time.
