I forgot to mention. When you install the Word viewer, it will make itself the default application for Word files. You'll have to reset it, for .DOC, but not .DOCX files to OpenOffice, by following these instructions:
Changing file associations Right click on file icon Select Open With > Choose Program... Check "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and choose the desired application. If that method is not available, follow the directions listed here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307859 Bill Ulrich wrote: > Greetings; > > I am using Open Office 2.3.1 and find myself unable to open the new MSWord > 2007 documents with the tag .docx > > At the moment, you can't open those Office 2007 files, unless you have the Novell version of OpenOffice. Such support is planned for a future release. What you can do in the mean time, is to get the free download Microsoft Word Viewer and Compatibility Pack, both available here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/CD102258581033.aspx. With those installed, you'll be able to view Word 2007 files and copy 'n paste the contents to your documents.
