DOCX files

S

I have received an attachment which the sender says is a word 2007 document.
It has a ".docx" extension. My word 2003 starts a File Conversion app but I
can't find a setting that makes the document readable.

What should the sender do to give me a document that is readable by Word
2003 without file conversion issues?

Although you really should install the converter pack, you could ask the
sender to save the document as 'Word 97-2003 Document' which (s)he can find
in the 'Save As' menu.

google provides a free service to change all those docx and xlsx or
whatever to earlier formats. I tried it , works great, but also
downloaded
NativeWindsDocx2Rtf ver 3.8
from
http://www.nativewindsofmontana.com

it will also run on Win98 OS

Thanks for confirming this feature is available. I quessed it should be. I
don't think the sender is particularly PC literate so when I suggested they
look for the option before posting this I didn't get coherent response. The
2007 compatibity pack has worked fine.

Thanks for all comments. Have installed and used the MS converter with great
success.
