Useful tools to Open Microsoft Word docx | Pinoy Ideas

Are you having problem with docx file extension with the recent updated Microsoft 2007 and up?

I have been recently encountered these situation in the office on how to open the Microsoft Office DOCX format, due to the fact that even with the recent release of Microsoft Office 2010 rolling out around the block, people like me haven’t even updated to 2007, because of the confusing ribbon interface.

Now with this problem, I found a quick and simple solution on how to open them.

1. Download the Converter Plugin Pack from Microsoft
2. Use OpenOffice.org – OpenOffice is an opensource and free of charge to anyone. It implements 95% of what common office applications like from Microsoft.
3. DevVicky Word 2010 – a freeware application that can also open DOCX. It leaves a much smaller footprint on the system compared to OpenOffice.org
4. Google Docs – allows you to open DOCX documents and able to share them online. You can upload a file and download them as you wish. And you can save the documents in real time.
5. Zoho – offers a suite of online web applications geared towards increasing your productivity and offering easy collaboration

So the next time you encounter and need open a DOCX file type extension, do not worry much about trying to convert it because you’re using an old version: use one of the many ways that I have enumerate here and save time and the hassle of downloading Microsoft Office just to open that one file.
