Not a search related post, apart from the fact that I sent myself a document on search that I was working on in Word 2007 format, without having Word 2007 at home. If you’re unaware, the Office 2007 suite uses different technology that is not compatible with previous versions. Luckily Microsoft came up with a solution. All you have to do is download the docx converter, and your older Office applications can open up files created in 2007. So now I can read and write to my search document. Nice.

Mac and P.C. users that do not own Microsoft Office, or users of earlier versions of Microsoft Office that are not covered by Microsoft compatibility pack, but still want to convert, open and use Word 2007 DOCX or Excel 2007 XLSX files on their own computer, can use “docxconverter 2.0″. See:

Good to know, I tried a different product that promised the same thing before I went to the Microsoft solution. It didn’t work, so if yours does there’s an option for people that need it.

As I read the post, I thought that Google Docs might be a handy way of converting .docx files to .doc in certain circumstances… it turns out, however, that GDocs doesn’t support docx files! Disappointing, but good to know…
