Microsoft introduced a new default document format in their new Microsoft Office and Word applications. Instead of saving documents as doc they are now saved as docx files by default which leads to some confusion by users of an older version of Word, Office or Office equivalent programs like Open Office.
A post at the Internet site Ghacks explains how to open docx files if you run an older version of Microsoft Office, Word, Open Office and even different operating systems like Linux or Mac.
Microsoft Office and Word users have the easiest way of adding support for docx files. They simply download a compatibility pack from Microsoft which adds support for docx documents.
All others can use online converters or special plugins that add compatibility which is unfortunately slightly more complex and depends on the current operating system and software.
