docXConverter 1.1 Update--Convert Word 2007 Files for the Mac

Panergy's docXConverter 1.1 is out and available for download via MacUpdate.com. docXConverter is a Macintosh program for opening and using files saved in the new Word 2007 default format, docx.

docXConverter allows you to open docx files with a program currently installed on your computer, even if none of your programs are capable of doing so on their own. docXConverter converts the docx file to an RTF file, and then instructs one of the programs on your computer to open that file. docXConverter makes sure that the contents, the graphics and the layout of the original docx document are kept in utmost fidelity.

As we have noted previously, the Microsoft Mac Business Unit has promised to release Office 2007 converters for Office 2004 in the spring. But Office 2007 is already in use by the Windows crowd so docXConverter may be needed by many Mac users right now. docXConverter 1.1 is $19.95 shareware. [Bill Fox]
