Many of the people are aware of .docx files and how to open them using Microsoft products such as Microsoft word 2007 but not many people have MS word 2007 installed on their PC,so here is a round up on how to open docx files & docx documents without using Microsoft word 2007.

Open Docx by downloading Compatibility Pack

Microsoft Compatibility pack helps you to open and save docx documents which can be downloaded from here and is of course,free to download! So far this is the convenient method suggest by the Microsoft team to open docx format files.

Open Docx Using Online Converter

Firstly you need to convert your docx file into other formats and then you can view the files using old version of Microsoft word or any text viewer.Here are the following online converters

Docx to Pdf FormatZamzar – Perhaps the widely used converter which will convert your docx to Pdf,docx to dpc and text file.Just upload your .docx document and choose the file extension to get the converted file.Open the file in adobe reader (For pdf) or any other text document viewer.

Docx to Doc Format – This website follows the same procedure as Zamzar.Note that they also have a paid option but still they convert the files.So make sure you don’t pay money for converting your docx files online.

View Docx Files using Software

Word Viewer – Download Word Viewer freeware which will allow you to view DOCX as well as Word Macro-Enabled (*.docm) documents.Use these ways only when downloading the compatibility pack doesn’t help you to open the docx file format.

Docx to Rtf – This desktop freeware,docx converter helps you to open docx file by converting it into rtf or PDF format so that the need of installing  MS Word 2007 is eliminated.The software retrieves basic text format from docx file by opening them in window embedded within the software.

Google chrome shows the recently closed tabs whereas there is no option option to see those closed tabs in firefox.One thing you can do in firefox is go to the history and undo the closed tabs or use this “Undo closed tabs addon” which when installed will show you a button with the recently closed tabs history list.It will show recently 10 closed tabs,clicking on them will direct you to that webpage.

Download Notification addon on Status bar

Another firefox-chrome difference is the download status.When you download a file in firefox browser a window pops out when showing the download status (time remaining,size of file) whereas in Google chrome the download status is seen in the status bar.

Downloading Statusbar Firefox addon will bring the Chrome status bar download feature in your Firefox browser.

Thanks to a friend called Pratyush who helped a lot in making these addon collection.Infact the entire credit goes to him.He also has a tumble blog and he blogs on Fully faltoo funny blog. A witty guy!

It came, it saw and it conquered. Google Chrome has been said as the most potential browser, though it has been criticized for lack of support of plugins or so called addons. We all like Firefox browser cause it has AdBlock, Gmail This, Stumble and what not! However, you can still get these firefox addon/extension type features on Chrome browser by using some smart bookmarklets, so-called Google chrome addons.
