For further information, the 'docx' of Office 2010 is not exactly the same as 
the 'docx' of 
Office 2007...  both are XML based though.

If you recall, the Office 2007 format was sent to ISO for approval but was 
eventually given 
approval only after some changes were made.  Office 2010 apparently implements 
the ISO-
approved version.  

I don't know if this means earlier versions of Office are now unable to open 
Office 2010 
files, or if they can be opened anyway.  Nor do I know if other applications 
with DOCX 
(2007) support are affected.
