There's no help to offer. Any version of Word prior to 2007 on the PC or 2008 on the Mac *cannot* open a .docx file. You need additional software. You don't mention what version of Word you have, but even if it's Word X or 2004 your OS is too out of date to employ the OOXML Converters (they require 10.4.9 or later). Even the Open Office versions that will open .docx files will not run on Cheetah. Your best bet is to have someone with the necessary software convert the file or open & Save As a Word 97-2004 .doc for you.

Hello Pep, If you don't want to install other software just for this, get the originator to open their document and save the document as a ".doc". Reason: the converter produced by Microsoft only works with OS X 10.4.8 (Tiger) or a later version of Mac OS. Or if you have Apple's Pages application, do the conversion there. Or (I'm told) Open Office, which is free. There are some others; someone may come by soon and nominate them. [For anyone watching who *is* on OS 10.4.8 or later: Go to the Mactopia website (https://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx) and click Downloads. Then in the list at the bottom, click "Office 2004" in the left column, then Microsoft Office Open XML File Format Converter..."] Cheers, Clive Huggan Canberra, Australia (My time zone is 5-11 hours different from North America and Europe, so my follow-on responses to those regions can be delayed) ==================================================== On 16/4/08 5:57 AM, in article XXXX@XXXXX.COM ,
