Hi Dave,
Am I right in thinking that the newer versions of Word can still output the
old .doc format? If so, perhaps one solution is that if you receive a .docx
file you ask the sender if they could resend the file as .doc, since you state
that "Open Office can work perfectly okay on traditional Word document", this
would seem a solution. Of course when you return the edited document save it
as the old format since this can be read by newer versions of Word as well.
Cheers
Deri
