<FONT FACE="Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Lots of good suggestions. If you’re using Microsoft 2004 you can also download the utility MS created. A bit kludgy, but it works (turns docx into RTF files) but otherwise seems to work on Excel and PPT. It’s called Open XML Converter. Download is here:<BR>

I would highly recommend downloading OpenOffice from www.openoffice.org <a href="http://www.openoffice.org"><http://www.openoffice.org></a> . It's a great suite of office applications that many folks prefer over Micro$oft.<BR>
<BR>
Another alternative is NeoOffice, which is based upon the same code.<BR>
<BR>
Either of these will do the trick and allow you to create .docx documents, if desired.<BR>

I just got a document from a Windows user:<BR>
<BR>
Anybody have a trick for opening a Word, 2007 document with a "docx" suffix, with my Appleworks 6 or 2004 Word for Mac?<BR>
