Open .docx files on Mac OSX

It has just happened that I received an email with a .docx file as attachment. For those who wonder what it is and how to open it, once done a quick search I am able to explain below.

A .docx file is a Microsoft Office 2007 format used to save an Word XML file. If you have not Office 2007 installed on your Mac, you can open that document using a (beta) application called MicroSoft Office Open XML Converter 0.2 that allow you to convert your file in .rtf (RichTextFormat).

Mac users that do not own Microsoft Office, or users of earlier versions of Microsoft Office that are not covered by Microsoft compatibility pack, but still want to convert, open and use Word 2007 DOCX or Excel 2007 XLSX files on their own computer, can use “docxconverter 2.0″. See:

Hi George,
Your site is helpful, well laid out but as English is not your first language the site has many errors both in spelling and grammar.
I would be delighted to help you correct these errors if you would like me to.
Send me a mail,

Have your say

About

Hello, my name is George and I’m a 19 years old boy born and rised in Milan (Italy). I opened this blog to share with people things I discover and/or stuff I think may be of public interest. My interests are design, Mac/OSX related stuff, cinema and music; I am also quite good in coding (especially PHP, mySQL, xhtml and css) but I am not going along with it anymore. None the less I’ll share some tips in this field too if I’ll have the chance.

Hope my posts will be useful to someone.
