So far none of my professors have saved anything in this format and I have had no problem using open office; however, my current professor used it. I really need to open this file or I am screwed.
Arg I should have not waited until the last day to write a 3000 word paper

I'm assuming you're running windows, if not then I've no idea I'm afraid
I also seem to recall OpenOffice being able to open those, but I don't know for sure.

I do have open office and it does not seem to open them without using an add on from my understanding..
Thanks, I am going to try the MS reader.
Don't you get 10k word papers your senior year?
OpenOffice.org 3.1 (and later)
AbiWord
Google Docs
Zoho Writer
But wait! There's more!
If you're REALLY desperate, you could open it as an XML file (which is basically what it is) with a decent XML reader. After wading through the header information, the text would be pretty obvious if not formatted nicely.
Else you could mail/pm it to me and I'll save it as a regular .doc for you.

Also, Go-OO has the best non-MS docx support. (essentially it's a better version of open office)

I've got a spare copy of Portal, if anyone wants it message me.
Wish I had windows 7
The office trial should allow you to open the file just fine, as should go-oo.

I know OO wouldn't automatically open the docx

I got the file open using the converter but when I tried to just do file open it wouldn't open the file.
Nope. 3.1
MS needs to get that free version of Word out as quick as possible. Google Docs is no better than Word Pad and OO has other issues. AbiWord is lightweight but at least it can function as a full text editor with all the needed basic functions.
