to .docx or what?

I'm pretty sure that anything that can read docx can read doc 1997,
which is pretty much a standard. No reason to convert to docx.
Alternatively, you could use the products from Softmaker Office,
either the free or the paid, and that will read and write docx with no
problem.
(I have no pecuniary interest in Softmaker.)
Thanks for saying that Doug! Wish I had noticed your post before I
replied. I am usually ok if I send a DOC file, but, sometimes I am
contractually obligated to a DOCX file; sadly.
