Last week we added OpenOffice.org to our list of open source software NOBODY should be without. Today we’re going to take a look at how to fix the problem of not being able to open the newest word document files in it. (.docx extension).

The best way to get around this is to use an online converter found at http://www.docx2doc.com/convert/docx-to-doc

Some people would rather have something that’s handy while on dial up or something not needing an internet connection. A program you can keep on your thumb drive at all times. If this is the case you may want to have a look at:

http://www.panergy-software.com/products/docxconverter/index.html ($19.95)

After using either of these methods you will be left with a .doc file which is easily opened with OpenOffice.Org
