Details for file extension: DOCX - Word Microsoft Office Open XML
Format Document (Microsoft Corporation)
Office Word is an authoring program that gives you the ability to
create and share documents using a set of writing tools. This is the
new upcoming format for Microsoft Office documents. It is a
combination of XML architecture and ZIP compression for size
reduction. Microsoft promises the format will be open (published for
anyone to use) and prior versions of Office, using components
provided by Microsoft for Office 2000, XP, and 2003 will be
available to perform document conversion. Remember that these are
promises by Microsoft. We have yet to see the actuals. This format
is not the same as the OpenDocument standard, also an XML-based
standard being developed as a true open standard (see the
OpenDocument Fellowship for more information).

NeoOffice now apparently supports Office 2007 Word documents, not
that anyone's sent me one yet :)

I believe as Microsoft is dropping visual basic support on the Mac it
may be a way forward for those who require Excel Macros (and don't
want to rewrite them in Applescript :)
Have fun,
Shay
