Default DOCX files

Thanks for confirming this feature is available. I quessed it should be. I
don't think the sender is particularly PC literate so when I suggested they
look for the option before posting this I didn't get coherent response. The
2007 compatibity pack has worked fine.

Although you really should install the converter pack, you could ask the
sender to save the document as 'Word 97-2003 Document' which (s)he can
find in the 'Save As' menu.

I have received an attachment which the sender says is a word 2007
document. It has a ".docx" extension. My word 2003 starts a File
Conversion app but I can't find a setting that makes the document
readable.

What should the sender do to give me a document that is readable by Word
2003 without file conversion issues?
