Title: Convert Microsoft Word 2007.docx files for a Intel-Based Mac
The Microsoft Office 2007 introduced a new file format called the Microsoft Open Office XML Format (.docx). This format is not compatible with older versions of Microsoft Word. The Mac version (Office 2008) isn't expected to ship until the second half of 2007.
Unfortunately, there are not many conversion options for mow:
Free Mac converter coming soon: Microsoft will be releasing a free Office 2007 converter for the Mac in March/April. Which obviously does you no good today. You can read about it in a recent post on Microsoft's Mac Mojo blog: Converters Coming! Free and (Fairly) Fast <http://blogs.msdn.com/macmojo/archive/2006/12/06/converters-coming-free-and-fairly-fast.aspx> .
Free web service: Docx-converter.com <http://docx-converter.com/> provides a free web-based service that will convert a Microsoft Office. docx file into a simple html file. Upload your file on their website, and you can read the results in your web browser. From there you can copy any needed text and paste it into your layout. A free Mac OS X Widget is available as well: Docx Converter Widget <http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/calculate_convert/docxconverter.html> .
For this reason, I have not upgrade the MS Office 2007 for my Parallel Desktop for Mac with Mac Book Pro.
