To open Microsoft Office Word 2007 .docx or .docm files with Microsoft Office Word 2003, you need to install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for 2007 Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint File Formats and any necessary Office updates. By using the Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system, you can open, edit some items, and save Office Word 2007 documents in previous versions of Word.

Hi,
Please download a plugin from the below link. Install it and now you can open docx files in word 2003 itself.

Hi,
For the Office 2007 documents (docx, xlsx, etc.) you need to download and install the office 2007 compatibility pack. This will let you open up those documents on earlier versions of office.
You can get it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=941b3470-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466

Our MS Word here in our computer was lost. I can't find it anymore. I can't do my assignments because I need to use MS Word. I don't know whether it was removed or replaced.

Provided MS word has not been un-installed.
You may be missing just the icons.

You can use the built in search and look for MSWORD.exe
If memory serves me this is the file name of the executable.

Have you tried simply opening another word document from explorer?
If MS Word has not been un-installed the program should start right up.

Everything Displays both files and directories.
Pleasure to work with and highly recommend especially for lost files.

Excellent alternate to MS word is OpenOffice Best of no cost and includes a full office package. And yes converts from and too MS office file formats.

Hope this helps

Gentlemen: I have downloaded MS 2007 for free from Brothersoft website. After installation, i can't use all the programs, such as excel and word. Every time i attempt to encode, this statement flashes...

Microsoft Products including Office 2007 are licensed software and cannot be used without the product key. You can only download the trial version.
Instead you can use OpenOffice, which is an absolutely FREE and open source office and productivity suite. Refer here to my earlier solution regarding Office Suite. OR. If you wish to use Office 2003, you have to uninstall Office 2007.
To uninstall you can use any uninstaller or uninstall the program using "Add Remove Programs" from the control pannel. As stated by you, if you are having problems uninstalling MS Office 2007, as a work around, manually delete the MS Office 2007 folder from the 'C:\Program Files' and Start Menu. After that you can use the following software to fix the registry entries left by Office 2007 and the remaining files etc.

-You can use Registry fixing software/utility. I have come across a Registry Tool, which is effective to fix common Registry issues. Its Free, small size, easy to use and completely safe. Click here to download CCleaner. Install CCleaner, Click 'ISSUES' and 'SCAN FOR ISSUES' and then click 'FIX SELECTED ISSUES'. Also, Run cleaner from the main interface of CCleaner.

Make a backup of the registry and proceed. You may proceed without registry back, if you like.


Hope it helps! Good Luck!

I cannot open .docx and xlsx files.

The files extensions you have listed, .docx and .xlsx, are files that have been created using the Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010 suite of programs. Specifically .docx is a Microsoft Word document, and .xlsx is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. You will have to have either of the Microsoft Office programs mentioned, or you can also use the Open Office suite of programs. This is a free program that you can download at the following website:

In which we can open .docx files

You can open docx extension files only with MS Office 2007. If you wish to open it in earlier versions you have to save it again in compatible mode. Click on File (top left most corner with the logo), Save As, Word 97-2003 Document. Just using Save option will save your document as "docx" and not "doc" document.

Unable to install ms office 2007, upgrading from Office 2003

Hi,
please first uninstall all the existing versions of MS Office. Then try to clean temporary files, cache and registry using tools like cCleaner (freely availavle), then install MS Office.

if you want to install only MS Office 2007, no need to install MS office 2003 and upgrade. directly install MS Office 2007.

If you want to keep both, pleas install MS office 2003 first, then MS office 2007, please dont uograde it, rather select Keep both version.

Please make sure that you have admin permission before doing all this and your system is free from any virus.
Thanks
