How To Convert Docx To Doc Files

I have tried installing several different 'docx' converters/viewers, and none work.
I have no word processing sw, just the simple stuff that comes with the typical xp install.
Due to the nature of this particular doc, "$$!" I do not want to convert/view it online.
I just need to see the text, no images.

Suggestions?

Brief story:
My sister gave me an old computer month ago. It has Office 2003? on it, so I was able to read (& convert it to doc/rtf). I still would like to be able to view docx files on this comp, so the question stands, , , , ,

[I managed to clone the old ide drive to a newer & larger sata drive!]

 

There is a "compatibility pack" for older versions of office to be able to open them.

So, give a looksee to find it. I have Office 2000. I had downloaded a compatibility pack at one time or another.

This might work...

I do not have any 'Office' version or any other word processing program on this computer, , , , ,

nothing to upgrade, , , , or use a compatibility pack on

 

You sound like a candidate for open office.

 

I will give openoffice a try.

 

I found this: "Microsoft Office Word Viewer" at

With NO hassels, no logging on at MS, no registering, etc.
