.DOCX to .DOC Conversion Utility
I have a bunch of Word docs that are in the new (.docx) format. There are several users on my network this are still user the older version of word (.doc). Does anyone know of a simple conversion utility that I could use to convert a .docx to a .doc?

geneus.......i installed the specified file. It works for excel but not word. Any thoughts?
Today I am used the converter from docx to doc (2007 to 2003) with succesfull result.
What problem do You have with .docx?
What problem do You have with .docx?
It should work with DOCX files. I am using the converters on my Office 2003 system without issue.
I have run into an issue however with some PPTX files that may turn out to be the same issue that your are having. I found some that were generated by ASP and the PPTX file was not fully formed. I was able to open directly in Powerpoint 2007 but not using the converter even though I am able to open other PPTX files, both server generated and saved from Powerpoint 2007.
Download this file from Microsoft and see if it converts properly:

I just wanted to state because it was not out at the time of this question that there is an compatibility pack available from Microsoft that lets people with older versions of Word view .DOCX files.
