Docx format was introduced by Microsoft in 2007 with a quest for people to upgrade their office software and other Microsoft services. This version of MS Office 2007 is not compatible with the older versions like Office 2003 or Office 2000. I get annoyed when I receive the .docx files from my friends and I don’t have Office 2007 installed on my machine and I don’t have any plans to upgrade it either.
So I will tell you five known ways to
open a .docx file even if you don’t have microsoft office 2007 installed on
your computer.
1. Microsoft Compatibility PackThis pack is introduced by Microsoft
so that its new products are backward compatible with the older software. This
pack will allow you to open, edit and save all your office documents in the
latest versions of the Microsoft. This pack is available from the website of
the company.
2. OpenOfficeThis is an open source alternative to
the Microsoft Office. This software is free and easy to use. You can open them
directly or using its Open XML Translator tool.
3. Go OnlineInternet is flooded with many
websites that offer you free services to convert the .docx format into .doc
format online. There are several popular online converters available such as Zamzar anddocx2doc. You can opt for the offline conversion also by
downloading the Docx-convertor dashboard from here.
4. Google DocsAnd here comes the Google to rescue
us from this situation. The Google docs enable you to view your .docx file
online but keep in mind that the formatting can be affected.
5. Using Firefox ExtensionOpenXML Viewer Firefox Plugin is developed for Microsoft Office 2007 or higher version that enables you to view the .docx files in the browser itself. This plugin works by converting the .docx into HTML on the fly retaining all the formatting and other layouts. You can download this plugin from here.
