Re: .docx file still doesn't open, despite installin' converter.. help
With some Word 2007 documents, if the template from which the document was
created is not valid for the earlier version of Word, Word can become confused when you attempt to open it. A possible workaround is to check tools > options > general > confirm conversion at open, then when you open such a document you will get an option which converter to use. Choose the Word 2007 document default option. You will then get a file version encoding dialog. The display in the window will appear as the gibberish that you had previously. Ignore that and choose the default Windows encoding, which should already be checked. Select OK and you will get a warning "the Document Template is not valid" OK that dialog and you will see yet another warning message about the document having been created with an earlier version. OK that and the document *should* open. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> KatyKatyKaty wrote: > Same for me too! please help! > > "oracle" wrote: > >> I have installed the compatibility pack but still the .docx file >> doesn't open properly; meanin' when i open it i get to see strange >> symbols........
