| 1332464 | 2013-03-13 05:58:00 | I have just received an email with an attachment but I can not open it. It appears as jibberish. it is a .docx. I know it is not spam as someone is telling my SWMBO of a baby shower. Any clues please. |

| 1332466 | 2013-03-13 06:04:00 | Speedy. I do not have any Microsoft progs. Some viewers and Open Office. |

| 1332467 | 2013-03-13 06:12:00 | OpenOffice should be able to open it too. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1332468 | 2013-03-13 06:15:00 | And libreoffice can by the looks of it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1332469 | 2013-03-13 06:33:00 | Download Microsoft's free Word Viewer here: support.microsoft.com | coldot (6847) | ||
| 1332470 | 2013-03-13 07:35:00 | I already had Excel viewer and PP viewer. I d/l Word viewer and when I tried to open the doc a box said "can not start mswrd632". I did a reboot but the same mess.appeared. I think from previous similarities the answer was tell the sender to resend. |

| 1332471 | 2013-03-13 07:49:00 | Open office can open it. But first save the attachment, then start open office then click open and search for the file. Or save file right click, open with select open office. Or it could be corrupt. And yes Open office, Libre office and Kingsoft office will all open a .docx file |

| 1332472 | 2013-03-13 07:56:00 | I'm no expert but just from my experience, make sure your Open Office is up to date. I've been caught out with something similar before. | Marnie (4574) | ||
| 1332473 | 2013-03-13 08:04:00 | gary67; I clicked on the file, then SAVE AS and a box popped up, "The converter failed to save the file" Marnie; Whilst I was doing the above a box said 'A new version of OO is available' so I shall d/l that now. |
