How to Convert docx file to doc

.docx is the file extension of MS-Word document created in MS-Office 2007 or above. You can open these files only in newer versions of MS-Office (eg; 2007 and 2010). To open these documents in previous versions of MS-Office you need to convert them first.

Method 1:
In this method you must have MS-Office 2007 installed with you on you computer.
Step 1: Go to File Menu
Step 2: Click on Save As
Step 3: Select "Word 97-2003 Document" and select the location where you want to save the document with appropriate name.

Method 2:
You can use some third party software to convert .docx file to .doc file. You can download such files free of cost. One of the example is http://docx-converter.com/widget/
The problem in such types of software is that they remove some of the formatting. But again this varies with the software which you have been using for converting the file.

Note: .docx is XML based and is compatible with other operating systems too, like linux based operating system and Max OS x.
