Hi :) There was some sort of add-on or something that allowed 2003 to open DocX http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/open-a-word-2007-document-in-an-earlier-version-of-word-HA010044473.aspx
Errr, that might be a bit old now. It's for the MSO 2007 version of DocX. This link doesn't seem to specify which version of DocX it's for http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3 Regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: upscope <upsc...@nwi.net> >To: Brian Barker <b.m.bar...@btinternet.com>; "users@global.libreoffice.org" ><users@global.libreoffice.org> >Sent: Wednesday, 20 February 2013, 17:51 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] .docx documents with graphic, not opening >correctly > >On Wednesday, February 20, 2013 05:03:36 PM Brian Barker wrote: >> At 08:53 20/02/2013 -0800, you wrote: >> >What I am trying to do is open the .docx document, and then save it as odt. >> >> Can you get to a copy of Microsoft Word, even temporarily - perhaps >> at work, at your educational establishment, at a library, in an >> internet cafe, at a friend's, and so on?
