This is a great tip. Ever received a Word 2007 document (.docx) and been unable to read it because you don’t have Office or you’re stuck on 2003?

LifeHacker has an easy solution –

“In a nutshell, the method involves changing the doc’s file extension to ZIP, unzipping it, and then finding a document.xml file inside the unzipped archive. From there, you can open that XML file in IE (or virtually any text editor, for that matter). As the post mentions, your document will lack any formatting, but it will allow you to read the content, which is essentially what matters anyway. “
