| Office 2007 won't open docx files but will open doc files
My new upgrade installation of 2007 Office Professional on Vista will not open existing .docx files. However it will open .doc files and will also create and open new .docx files that it generates. My old computer with Office 2003 and XP will open the same .docx files. Suggestions/help?? Thanks, Ron  |

The file does not open. Instead I get an advisory that says "Word experienced and error trying to open the file" "JoAnn Paules" wrote: > What happens when you try? > > -- > JoAnn Paules > MVP Microsoft [Publisher] > Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" > > > > "Reg1987" <Reg1987@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:E6866C0F-46FC-4F45-9B9C-EC9484B447B6@microsoft.com... > > My new upgrade installation of 2007 Office Professional on Vista will not > > open existing .docx files. > > > > However it will open .doc files and will also create and open new .docx > > files that it generates. > > > > My old computer with Office 2003 and XP will open the same .docx files. > > > > Suggestions/help?? > > > > Thanks, > > > > Ron > > |

They are on my hard drive. I also tried them from a jump drive. None would open.
