I have office mac 2000 and it doesn't recognise the docx format.
appears from the MS site that it's approx a $150 upgrade for a version that can accommodate a plug in reader. Screw that.
Found any work arounds?

on line convertor or get originator to save down to .doc
Try the latest version of open office. I can't open docx with xp either.
Thanks - doing option 2 at the mo or forwarding to a win machine.
Converter would be perfick but no results so far.
Plug-ins are available - free - to enable "docx" docs (and "xlsx"...) to be handled by some older versions of the Office suite (this link for Microsoft Office 2000, Office XP, or Office 2003) ... http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.
Use an online one or Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.1.5, although that prolly wont work for 2000.
Surprised some Linux hippy hasn't told you to throw it all in the skip as Microsoft and Apple are Evil.
Georgyboy is correct. Openoffice will convert it for yer.

Otherwise if it's an irregular thing then zamzar.com will do it online.

My reply was to george formby who mentioned "xp" - he might have meant his OS*, but if he meant his version of Word (or Office) then the free converter will be all good.
* it might mean he's all good anyway - I don't know how old a version of Word will even run on Win XP.

Ah - got it - FWIW It took 14 hours to get the reply from the online converter.
Massive why didn't I think of that face palm.
Cheers.
Or alternatively get all of your Apple products in a big pile, pour petrol over them, set it all alight and save yourself and humanity all at the same time.
cheers all. My nightie has been well & truly ripped by docx files & now i can open them. woo hoo. Scary to think i run an internet caff.......![]()
