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!

Filipe: I did not uninstall OO 2.3 before I installed 3.1. Was hoping the 3.1 installation would see that 2.3 was installed and uninstall it, but no joy on that. My error.... So, on GNOME, if I go to Applications>Office>Word Processor, naturally it brings up OO 2.3. Please give me the rpm or yum command that will uninstall OO 2.3, and leave OO 3.1 in place. I will hunt around in /opt and try to find the Desktop icon, so I can launch OO 3.1, but if possible, I would like to have it in the GNOME menu. I think in your 2nd message, you gave me the command to do that, but I need to uninstall OO 2.3 first. RPMS/desktop-integration/openoffice.org3.1-redhat-menus-*.rpm
Usually, I don't need or want to be on the "bleeding edge", and I wait for new packages to come with the distro updates, but I'm receiving a lot of .docx files these days. Thanks a million! Lanny
