Assuming you have the file converters install so that you can open the
..DOCX document in Word 2002 in the first place...open the document in
Word 2002, then do a File | Save As and save it as a Word 97-2003 format
document.

I have done that several times, but it still doesn't work. I have tried to
redownload sevvice packs 1 thru 3, compatibility pack, and have run all
updates. I have XP home with word 2002 in the office suites program. Should I
just go out and buy the upgrade for word 2007?

Hi Robin,
Are you trying to open a .docX file in Word 2002 throug File=>Open or do you already have it open and are then trying to use
File=>Save As to choose the Word Document format?
If opening the file, save it to your hard drive before opening if, for example, it's an email attachment.
In Word's Tools=>Options=>General turn on the
[x] Confirm Conversions at open
then use File=>Open to see what result you get on the .docX file.

I have saved it in my documents. when I try to open it I get a message asking
if I want to download a conversion to work with it. When I say yes, nothing
happens. When I say cancel, nothing happens. I can't open it at all. Even the
option in tools doesn't show up.

You need a document open (any document) to set the tools option.

I tried to open a document and the option to convert on open is checked. When
I went back to the document and tried to open it, it asks if I want to
download a conversion pack and I select yes. Nothing happens after that. When
I followed your link to the download center and I tried to down load it says
I have another version of word. I checked on my system for the correct
version and it says I have Word 2002 with windows XP home. I did not see a
download for that version. I tried Word 2003 and Windows XP conversion packs,
neither one would down load. It says I have an unexpected version of Word.
Now what?
