If you have Microsoft Office 2003, Office XP (2002), or maybe even Office
2000, this newer 2007 Word document file type can be opened and saved in
this format. There is a small pplug-in type of program that gives these
older versions new file formats. There is a simple installer for this
called something like File Conversion Tool. It is available on the Programs
webpage for this list.

on things that matter.

Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Weird extention, what do I do?
Hi Matt;
I couldn't find a " .DOCX " file extension but, I did find a " .DOX "
extension. This is what I found;
.dox text file (MultiMate 4.0)
I don't have a " .DOX " file to attempt to assign a file to open it. So,
what you can try is;
1. Highlight the file in question.
2. Press your application / context menu key.
3. Arrow down to " Open With " and press enter.
4. A list of possible programs that will open this file will appear.
Arrow
down the list and select one. Tab to okay and press enter to see if it
will
open.
Something I tried was to change the file extension on a Word document from
a
" .DOC " extension to a " DOX " extension. I pressed the application key,
arrowed to Open With, pressed enter, selected / highlighted Microsoft Word
from the list, tabbed to okay, pressed enter, and Hot Damn it opened!
Hope
this helps. Take care.
Mike

Hi, my wife received this file from a woman she in ain an organization

It is a list of names and numbers and so on for people she needs to
contact,
but the extention is something like docx that's d o c x.
My computer don't knowwhat to do with it and is suggesting she go to
control
panel and assign a program to handle the job.
What say you on this?
Thanks,
