I was going to reply with: ==== Version 3.0 Beta will open docx files. You can download from here: http://download.openoffice.org/680/?intcmp=1461 Select a mirror close to you & if you are using a MAC, download: OOo-Dev_DEV300_m17_MacOSXIntel_AQUA_install_en-US.dmg This version will install side-by-side to your exisiting OOo version, so you do not need to worry about uninstalling your current OOo or it affecting your exisiting documents/settings. Use 3.0 to open and convert the docx files, and at the same time you can experiment with the new features: http://marketing.openoffice.org/3.0/featurelistbeta.html ==== But I don't have a MAC & so I'm unsure of: <quote> This version will install side-by-side to your exisiting OOo version, so you do not need to worry about uninstalling your current OOo or it affecting your exisiting documents/settings. </quote> I know that the linux & Windows versions install without disrupting the existing OOo installs; does anyone know if this is true for the MAC version as well?
