Is there any Linux application that will handle MS Word .docx files successfully?
For some value of success: try OpenOffice.org 3 or unpack the zip and rip the text out of the XML content file.
I'm surprised, but it seems that MS have managed to make simpler doc files even bigger and less useful. It does have the good point of being incompatible with earlier MS Officer versions, so some of my heavy-MS-user associates are now emailing RTF, PDF or text without me asking! I wonder how long that will last...
