Surprise to some, Microsoft Office 2007 has a new file format called Microsoft Open that is not compatible with older versions of Micorsoft Word. Microsoft Office 2007 uses a file extension .docx that Office 2004 does not recognize.

Good news if you are a Mac user!

This is a stand-alone Macintosh application that converts .docx documents – that is, documents saved by Word 2007 for Windows in the Office Open XML file format – into rich text format (RTF) documents so that they can be automatically opened in either Word 2004 or Word v.X for Mac OS X.
