It keeps asking me for a product key, which obviously I don't have, and it's saying that I have 17 more opportunities to enter this product key, at which time there will be reduced functionality - omg!
I was very happy with my previous version of Office, how do I get rid of this 2007 version?
Docx is the latest 'universal' word document format which is supposedly able to be opened by other word processing packages other than word I believe. However, previous versions of word cannot open it
Go to Control Panel on your PC Cherry and select the Add/Uninstall icon and follow and uninstall the Word 2007 app that has been installed. Then File Save As the .docx attachment from within your mail to a folder on your hard drive and then go to this site which has a free docx online converter.

Follow the instructions and you will then have a version that can be opened in your current version of Word
