Greetings! I am wondering if the update is able to open documents with .docx or not. Thanks you! Fran
The current stable version (2.4.0) cannot open OOXML (Office Open Extensible Markup Language) ".docx", although it is proposed as an option for a future release.
As a temporary (maybe permanent) option, you might consider the enhanced version of OOo called "Oxygen Office Professional". This is still OOo, but this edition includes a number of extras and enhancements, one of them being the ability to open MS Office 2007 ".docx, .xlsx" files. The conversion is not 100% perfect, but then neither is Microsoft's own Compatibility Pack for earlier versions of MS Office [1].
Oxygen Office Professional can be downloaded from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ooop It is a fairly large download (approx. twice the size of the "official" edition) and you will need to completely uninstall any existing version of OOo before you install Oxygen Office Professional.
