Hi,

Docx extension are created in MS Word 2007. Since you have Word 2003 it will not be able to open them.

However there are couple of choices:

1 You can try a free software OpenOffice from the link below to open the newer format:

2 You can use Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack:

If you choose number two, remember to download updates for windows before installing compatibility pack.


I hope this will help.

Thanks
