The Docx format differs from the previous versions of Microsoft Word in a way that it integrates XML architecture with ZIP compression to ensure much reduced file size, and greater interoperability with other applications as well.

To ensure smooth backwards compatibility for the .docx document files, Microsoft has provided a MS Office Compatibility Pack for previous versions of Microsoft Office including MS Office 2000, XP and 2003. Upon installing the Compatibility pack, the users will be able to open, edit and convert the .docx files into document files compatible with the previous versions of the application.

More Info Regarding File Extension DOCX

Generally speaking, the .docx format might be said to be loosely inspired from the OpenDocument standard, which is an XML-based standard and serves the purpose of a true open standard ensuring perfect cross-platform compatibility of different file formats among various applications and operating systems.

To understand the benefits of using the .docx format rather than previous Microsoft Office document file formats, it will be worthwhile to have a look at what XML based files are, and how are they different from binary files. The original file formats pertaining to different Microsoft Office files, which are .doc for an MS Word document, .ppt for an MS PowerPoint presentation, and .xls for an MS Excel worksheet were binary in nature, which means all the text data, graphics and the formatting features used to get locked inside the file while it was saved. By no means could the intrinsic contents of the file be extracted if a compatible application wasn't used to open the file. But the advent of XML (Extended Markup Language) in the 1990s changed the scene, enabling a cross-platform and open standard for data storing and extraction. An XML file is basically a set of references, pointing to a compilation of different objects, which might be a text object, a graphic or a formatting element. Hence, an XML based open standard ensures different applications upon different operating systems are able to extract the useful data out of a document file, whether or not the file can be opened and edited in the same application. For example, you might think of a database management system (DBMS) directly retrieving the vital data out of a .docx file that you saved within Microsoft Word 2007, although you can't open or edit the file right in the DBMS. Microsoft had begun supporting XML in MS Office 2000, and has extended the support in MS Office 2007 even further. Another great feature incorporated into the .docx file format is the introduction of zip compression, which reduces the file size considerably, saving on the memory space and bandwidth while transferring the files from one place to another.


Applications for opening .docx files:
A number of applications compatible with different operating systems offer support for opening .docx documents. For the Mac OS platform, you could use the Microsoft Word 2008, Apple Pages or the Panergy docXConverter for opening, editing and converting the .docx files into compatible document files.


For Microsoft Windows platform, the Microsoft Word 2007 lets you natively create, open and edit the .docx documents. Alternatively, the Microsoft Word 2003 with a Compatibility Pack also can do the needful. You can convert the .docx files into document files pertaining to the previous versions of MS Office with the Panergy docXConverter, while a word processing application named OxygenOffice Professional offers support for opening and editing the .docx files. OpenOffice, the Open Source word processor can be used with an Odf-Converter to convert a .docx file into an .odf file, an open source document file format. A yet another Windows based application named NativeWinds Docx2Rtf converts the .docx files into rich text files ending in .rtf extension.

If you are a Linux fan, still you don't need to worry as the OxygenOffice Professional is also available in a Linux flavor. The Linux based OpenOffice in conjunction with the Odf-Converter can also be helpful, as described above.


If you're not able to open the .docx files successfully or encounter some problems or errors, the possible reasons might be:
1. You might not be having a compatible application installed upon your Computer. Based upon your operating system, choose one of the applications described above, and install it upon your system to open the file.
2. The .docx file format might have been wrongly associated to be opened with some other application. The problem can be easily solved by associating the file format with the compatible application.
3. Your file might have been damaged or virus-infected. An Anti-Virus check might be helpful to diagnose the problem.
