CentOS - Jun 2009 - OT: Viewer for .docx M$ WORD files?

Is there a Viewer for .docx   M$ WORD files? If so, where can I get
it? This file type cannot be opened with OpenOffice.org 2.3.    TIA!

I'm successfully using the RPM distribution of OpenOffice 3.1
available from the openoffice.org website. I'm even using it on CentOS
4 machines and it's working OK!

They even include an openoffice.org3.1-redhat-menus RPM that will do
the proper GNOME/KDE integration in RHEL/CentOS based systems.

I tested opening .docx, .xlsx and .pptx and it works OK.

It is even available for Linux x86_64 (which is my case).

Look for the Linux RPM and Linux 64 RPM downloads here:
http://download.openoffice.org/other.html

It's a .tgz but inside that one are all the RPMs (you don't need to
run an installer script, just rpm -Uvh RPMS/*.rpm
RPMS/desktop-integration/openoffice.org3.1-redhat-menus-*.rpm works
just fine).

HTH!

The .docx files work fine with NeoOffice 2.2.5 Patch 10,
OpenOffice.org for Mac native interface.  Given that's usually a
bit behind the regular OpenOffice.org releases, I would thing
there would not be a problem with it.
