Re: unable to open ms office 2007 word doc(x)s sent in open xml
thanks, there are some informative replies, but none that really work. I have only just downloaded and started to use Open Office, which for a free system on the face of it is extremely good. Unfortunately the first time I tried to use it to open an attachment sent to me in word 2007 (docx) it has turned out to be quite involved and taking a lot of time. I am aware of the MS website fix, but I am trying to get away from Microsoft and would even be prepared to pay something for Open Office which again is a good package, but I will now wait until September for the Vers 3 rlse.
Re: unable to open ms office 2007 word doc(x)s sent in open xml
The only purpose of "Office Open XML" is to fight the XML format introduced with OpenOffice.org2. Notice the similar naming? Their attempt to make OOXML an industry standard failed because the specifications are faulty and by far too complex to implement for anybody but MS.
- You should ask Word users for the old doc format. It is no standard neither, but at least it is somewhat common.
- There are free online converters (send your docx and get back a doc or odt).
- There are derivates of OpenOffice.org which can already read most of the nasty docx trash. I believe, Novell has one for Windows.

If you download the version of OpenOffice.org found at http://go-oo.org it can open some docx files - not too complicated ones form what I hear.
The code found in this version, with enhancements I suppose, is to be included with the main branch at http://www.openoffice.org for the 3.0 release later this year.

The OOXML code (called xmlfilter) in OxygenOffice 2.x and Go-Oo 2.x is alpha quality (i.e., poor). For a review, see the articles OxgygenOffice as a .docx converter and OpenOffice.org 3.0, an early look.
If you need high quality, I suggest odf-converter-integrator for docx/xlsx/pptx. It's free, easy to install, and works with any OpenOffice.org.
For alternatives, see OpenXML on OOoNinja.
