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! Filipe
