Convert Word 2007 .docx files to .doc files
Still haven't upgraded to Word 2007 while a client of yours has? Not a problem for me since I have Office Ultimate 2007. However, one of my clients is still using Office 2003, (and the docx format is not supported by GMail or Google Docs), hence the need to convert.
DOCX files are now the default extension in Word 2007. They are essentially a bunch of zipped XML documents. You have several easy options to "downgrade" a .docx file.
To convert the files to the .doc format, just download the free Microsoft Office compatibility Pack HERE. For Mac users, you can get the Microsoft Office Open XML File Format Converter for Mac HERE, which converts .docx files to rtf (Rich Text Format) files.
Additionally, there are also two online services: Zamzar.com and docxtodoc.com. Lastly, there is an open source Open XML Translator available at SourceForge which converts .docx Word documents into OpenOffice .odf files.

Mac and P.C. users that do not own Microsoft Office but still want to convert, open and use Word 2007 DOCX or Excel 2007 XLSX files on their own computer and not email the files to be converted, can use docxconverter. See:
