Hi Phil, There's no problem opening .docx files in the current version of Pages. There was a problem in the version of Pages that was current when Office first adopted .docx, but that's quite a long time ago. So unless you are running an old operating system and old version of iWorks, this isn't an issue. I think it was a problem in Pages '08. Maybe your .docx files are using special features that I haven't encountered?
