Hello Nancy, The short answer is: 'No'. Microsoft invented the docx, xlsx and ppsx format in the hope that everyone would pay for new updates of Word, Excel and Powerpoint... Ask your correspondent to use the previous formats doc, xls, pps. The present version of OpenOffice.org doesn't yet include the means to open the new MS formats. There are some plug-ins (Novell) and other programs around that do convert these files, but the regular OOo will only include this option with version 3 later this year (September).
