At home I'm running Windows XP and MS Office 2003.



Apparently there's a new version of Office out, and once in a while I'm sent Word documents that I cannot open because they're from this newer version.  Their extension is .docx, and my Office doesn't recognize them.



Any solutions to this outside of an upgrade of Windows and/or Office, neither of which I'd like to do?

All you need is the office compatibility pack

I think there's some compatibility thing you can download from MS to open stuff made with Office (of fail) 2007 using an older version.
