Peter, What happens if you just erase the 'x' in the docx file extension.

  I have the same problem, also using Windows XP. Can't open docx. files.

    Good morning everyone

    I have received an e mail from the District Council with an attachment 
which I cannot open.  (This often happens, and I now know how to ask friends to 
re-send using a different form, but don't want to have to write similarly to 
outside agencies). The following message appears when I try to open them

    'This file does not have a programme associated with it for performing this 
action. Create an Association in the Folder Options Control Panel'

    I am still using Windows XP and cannot find the 'Options Control Panel'.  I 
have tried all the folder files, and associated options but nothing seems to 
have anything to do with the required action!  I think that at some stage I 
must get a more up-to-date computer, but am partly put off by the fact that as 
soon as one does that, they bring out a new programme.
