1332475	2013-03-13 08:11:00	If you download word Viewer, you have to install the Office Compatibility Pack as well to open docx. You would be better off doing as Gary suggested, Personally I use Kingsoft office ( free version) on peoples PC's that don't want a MS package. Kingsoft free looks and works like Office 2003 for general purposes, and will open most MS formats. ( not to sure about WPS.) - Works	wainuitech (129)

1332478	2013-03-13 08:32:00	Excellent result	gary67 (56)

If you still cannot open it using any of the above suggestions, go back to the person who sent it to you and ask them to resave the document as a Word 97-2003 document, and then send you the resulting file which you will be able to open.
