Hi - hope someone can help me please. We have a vacancy advertised on the net and some replies/CVs are coming in with docx attachments which I can't open. I have tried right clicking but nothing will open them. Do I have to install a different programme or can anyone suggest an easy way to view them please.
I use Outlook Express 6 for emails, Firefox 26.0 latest version, and Microsoft Office Word 2003.
I think you can get free converters but you could try first right clicking on the attachment, choose 'save as' and save it with just doc on the end (drop the x) then you might be able to open it from your documents. It's happening because your version of Word is older than that used to write them by your applicants.
Your computer and software is about to become obsolete with the end of support for XP getting very near. You should have been considering a replacement to Windows 7. Outlook Express and Microsoft Office 2003 are no longer supported by Microsoft.
