Word and Excel File Converters
Microsoft's current Office version (2007) has changed the native file format of its programs. Since this means you can't read documents produced by these programs with old versions of Office, they have also provided a conversion program you can install to allow previous version of Word and Excel to read these docx and xlsx files. Download the file format converter. Read more about this at the Microsoft site.
