How do i convert docx to doc in Office 2004

I'm trying to convert word docx files to doc in office 2004.  All I get is a message indicating too little memory or disc space available.

DOCX is the format used by the newer versions of Microsoft Word.  Word (Office) 2004 can't open it.  You need to open it in Word 2011 on the Mac, or Word 2007 or Word 2010 on the PC, then Save As to the older DOC format.  If you do not have access to a newer version of Word, then have the person who gave you the doc, resave and resend it to you.
You can also try LibreOffice or OpenOffice.  (Both are free.)  The current versions of both have limited support for opening DOCX files.

    How do I convert a WORD doc to pdf

    Easiest way if you have Word installed: from Word's File menu, do "Save as..." and you will find a pdf option in the "Format" pull-down:
    The example is from Office:Mac 2008; should be similar in Office 2011.

  • Converting docx to doc files using wordconv.exe

    Hello,
    I have a requirement wherein I need to convert the docx files to doc files. I looked around and found the "Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File
    Formats" ("http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en"). Installing this would place a bunch of files in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\ directory. This folder also contains an executable named "Wordconv.exe" which according to http://www.oooninja.com/2008/02/office-compatibility-pack-review.html converts the docx files to doc files if you use the execute something like the following in the command prompt:-
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\wordconv.exe" -oice -nme <input file> <output file>
    I downloaded the compatibility pack and tried the above command. Nothing happens. No error message,no output,nothing. I wonder what is the problem. In the above link,some guys have suggested to download the latest windows updates from Windows.
    Well,I tried this in my Windows XP (with Service Pack 2) and only thing I am left to install in service pack 3. Is that required? This WIndows XP machine does not have the Office 2007 installed. Is it required?
    Also,I tried this on a Windows server 2003 machine which also has the compatibility pack and result is same.This machine does have the Office 2007 installed.
    Am I missing anything? If yes,please let me know as I am kinda stuck in this. I dont want to use a commercial product like "Aspose.Words" for this.
    Is there any other tool available from Microsoft to convert docx to doc files? Please let me know. 
    I am cuurently looking into the Office tools.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Ashish

  • How do I convert docx files to doc files when sending to a non-apple user?

    When I send files as attachments they crash the computer of a colleague.  He thinks that if I convert them to .doc documents his computer won't crash, but my apple doesn't seem to provide that option.  Any ideas?

    Microsoft Word files are cross-platform, so if your colleague has Word installed he should be able to read them, unless his version predates the introduction of docx, which seems to be the case.
    When docx was introduced, Microsoft provided a converter for Word 2004 that enabled users to read docx files from Word 2008 (the first version to use them). Possibly they did the same for the Windows version.

  • Convert Docx and doc to HTML in unix environment with CFMX7

    I have a web app that allows user to upload doc or docx files and converts it to HTML. I have CFMX 7 in a unix environment. Is there a custom tag that I could use for this conversion? I tried the cfx_word2html tag .. it converts .doc not docx. Please let me know. Thanks...

    I've been pleased with Aspose's Words component.  I use the .NET version, but a Java version is also available.  You could try using CFOBJECT plus the Words Java component to handle document conversion on your server.

  • How to download converted .docx files from Adobe?

    I have converted five .pdf files into .docx files, but when I click on "the download icon" after putting a "check" in the box before the first converted file, nothing happens? 
    Is there a process to use?  I am using a PC using Windows 7 Ultimate Operating System, and my internet browser is IE 9.  I cannot upgrade to IE 10 as it compromises my MSN mail account: Outlook.com.
    I have tried to read all other answers to questions about this same issue, but none address the simple process of downloading a converted .pdf file back onto one's PC.
    Thanks for your help, Thomboy

    The trouble with these kind of situations is that an applet runs on the client. If you want an applet to connect to a specific server (which means the client makes a connection to that server), you basically have to give the entire world access rights to that server. I don't think your friendly local administrator will be too happy with such a prospect.
    What you could do is put a man in the middle. Don't upload to the file server directly, but to for example the web server where the applet was downloaded from, for example by making a servlet available that takes a HTTP file upload. When that upload is complete, send the file from your man in the middle server to the file server using whatever method you like/have available/know how to code. In this situation only your web server needs access to the file server, which is far easier to secure.

  • Open XML converter not coverting docx to doc

    I am trying to open docx in word 2004 for mac. On my old iBook I had the microsoft Open XML converter which worked fine. I just download it on my newly acquired macbook and it only converts docxs to rfts. How do I get it to convert docxs to docs?

    Check the MS website; I believe they offer a free docx converter now. TextEdit will open docx documents, but often without the formatting. OpenOffice probably opens them, as well.
    I use docxConverter, a free utility available from many places online.
