I have started receiving documents stored in docx format and can't
open it in word 2003 or openoffice. I found this
http://joeanderson.co.uk/blog/2006/01/26/dismantling-a-docx/
which is true. docx is basically a zip file with xml files and word
document. My problem is I can't seem to find the .doc in it. The
author of the website does state that the hack doesn't work anymore.
Anyone else know how to open these files without access to Office
2007?
