    These new document formats really make life difficult. Why create a format that can only be viewed by one software? It doesn’t make business sense MicroSoft, or is it a strategy to increase more MS users?

    Well thank you for this app, I’ll definitely be using it soon.

    Using the converter, you can open docx with previous Windows version. I have the installer, but I forget the link where I got it.
