Received Word and Excel Documents Garbled

Running Office 2003 Pro, received a couple of Office 2007 documents,
downloaded the conversion feature, all OK. But several files when I open them
appear to zip files, and when I unzip them, all I see are .xml files, and no
content. Forwarded these files to another computer running 2007, and they
open perfectly. Should I upgrade to 2007, or is there a way I can read these
files with 2003. Many thanks in advance.

If they appear to be .zip files, just change the file extension to .docx
before trying to open them. Some mail clients apparently change the
extension.
