It doesn't.
I had a browse online and it said to get compatibility software, but this doesn't appear to have worked (going to try turning off and on again to see if that kick starts it).
It opens the convert window, and tries to show binary/square boxes.
Has anyone come across this and did you succeed in opening the doc/converting the doc?
Download it and install this

Restart you pc. You should be able to open docX in Word 2003.
Hope this helps...
Already installed. Only opens the file conversion box, which seems to give options for Dos files (squares) and nothing for word 2007.
Restarted comp to ensure its picked it up too... still doesn't work.
As that link mentiones....
Is your Computer up to date?Quote:
Also from the same link...

No idea, but I doubt it.
Comps on a network controlled by...someone. They are old n run McAfee and it takes most of the processor power to run.
So I dont think Its as up to date as it perhaps should be. There was a viewer installed earlier this year, but that seems to have dissappeared or MS changed their format in an update...
Popping over to the more info link...
Perhaps should be reworded to "You now have the option to try and open the docx or docm file."Quote:
Word 2003, Word 2002, and Word 2000
In Word 2003, 2002, and 2000, you can now create, open, edit, and save the following Word 2007 file formats:
Word Document (*.docx)
Word Macro-Enabled Document (*.docm)
Additionally, you can use Windows Explorer to open files and save files in the Word 2007 formats.
That option is there. Selecting it (docx) then selecting the file for opening, word pauses then pops up the file conversion and thinks its in Japanese.
May be it is relying on some update, in which case I give up now :)
Thanks for the pointers
