What is a DOCX file?
http://live.pirillo.com/ – Someone asked Chris what a DOCX file was. Well, here is the answer.
If you have a DOCX file you need converted (or almost any other file, for that matter), why not try Zamzar?

Our mission is: “To provide high quality file conversion for as many file formats as possible” We are intent on bringing order to your filesystem by offering you a one stop solution for all your file conversion needs. Like others we were fed up with having files in all sorts of formats, and no easy way of converting between them – the quest to find a better way led to the birth of Zamzar.

There’s another option, for those who have Office 2000, Office XP, or Office 2003.
You can download an update from Microsoft, called the “Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack.”
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/HA101686761033.aspx
(If I recall, the update is like 500 MB)
After that’s installed, you will be able to open all OpenXML formats created by Office 2007 in your older software. You’ll be able to OPEN the files, but you won’t be able to SAVE in that format. You’ll need to save in your own format after that.

You could also try http://www.docx2doc.com/ a site dedicated to providing information, online conversion and instant download of docx-files. In just a few seconds you can get the good old .doc file from the .docx zip-container.

Yup, and you forgotten to write, that a fee is “just” 5$ for conversion. Nice business, cheers!
