Additionally, it looks like Open Office Writer 3 opens .docx (or at
least claims to).

Hedley,
There is a free word processor called Jarte that claims to open .docx
Word files. You could then save the files as .doc and work with them in
Office. Download from www.jarte.com
(Oddly, my old version of Office 97 will open .docx files after I
installed the Microsoft compatibility patch, even though Microsoft say
the patch will only work with later versions of Office.)

Subject: atw: Office 2003 for sale?
Is there anybody on the list who has a Microsoft Office 2003 installer
CD they no longer want, perhaps owing to an upgrade to Windows Vista
or
switching to another operating system or word processor? I am
currently
using Office 2002 which uses the formats extant from 1997 to 2002,
which
is fine unless trying to open an Office 2007 XML-based document (e.g.
*.docx) with the compatibility patch installed.
This patch won't work for me and appears to only work successfully
with
Office 2003 and later non-XML upgrades. I am currently marking
assignments submitted by students using Office 2007 and, despite all
instructions to the contrary, insist on saving files in *.docx. Also,
I
probably need to face reality and upgrade to a non-XML version of
Office
with a compatibility patch capable of saving in the new format.
I will pay money (gasp!) and render undying gratitude (double gasp!).
Potential sellers must be prepared to transfer their licence, i.e. not
use it any more, and supply the original CDs. I will notify Microsoft
of the change of ownership if you wish.
Regards,
Hedley
