Reply to one of the comments and then click on the "More" button. The attachment will be shown as a link in your comment. Jay is right about the important things. He meant ISO standard rather than ODF. Microsoft apparently pushed through DocX as an ISO format but then their implementation is fairly different from that ISO. http://www.iso.org/iso/about/discovers-iso_who-standards-benefits.htm Also Jay missed another couple of options 4. Ask the person that sent the DocX to send it in a non-proprietary format. In MS Office 2007 GoldenGlobe/ "Office button" - "Save As .." - "OpenDocument Format" In MS Office 2010 File - "Save As ..." - "OpenDocument Format" 5. Ask your buddy that has OpenOffice to save in OpenDocument Format (odt is equivalent to docX) 6. Install OpenOffice alongside LibreOffice so that you can go back to OOo for odd broken documents from the same person in the future http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel For his 1 you could create a copy of the document, rename it so that docX is changed to .zip then just double-clicking on the file should open it. In Windows you would probably need to change "Folder options" to not "hide file-extensions of well known file types". SO, it might be easier to right-click on the docX and choose "Open with" to choose an archive manager program such as WinZip or WinRar or something. http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Word_Document_(DOCX) Regards from Tom :) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/malfunction-opening-docx-document-tp3820607p3821606.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
