Product Description:

With the Office Open XML Converter, you can convert Office Open XML files to a format that is compatible with Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac and Microsoft Office v. X for Mac. You can choose to convert and open one file, or convert a large number of files.

This version of the Office Open XML Converter can convert the following Office Open XML file formats:

  • Word Document (*.docx)
  • Word Macro-Enabled Document (*.docm)

These files are converted to Rich Text Format (RTF), which can be opened in Microsoft Word 2004 and Microsoft Word X.

The converter is a Beta release, and might be unable to convert all the data in Office Open XML files. After you convert a file, you should review the file carefully to make sure that it contains all of the information that you expect.

The following issues are known to exist in this Beta release:

  • Macros and Visual Basic content are not included in the converted file.
  • Charts and SmartArt graphics are converted to pictures.

The following issues might occur in this Beta release:

  • Graphics and other objects in the document might appear with a different size.
  • Color fills and shading in tables might not be preserved.
  • Conversion might not succeed if the document contains a bibliography or citations.
  • Conversion might not succeed if the document contains WordArt.
  • Document layout and formatting might not be preserved.
  • Some Unicode characters might not be preserved.
  • Conversion might not succeed if the document contains very large pictures.
  • Conversion might not succeed if you use an SMB network volume as the preferred destination for converted files.
  • Picture bullets might not be preserved.
  • Fonts might be substituted.

What's new in this version:

This version of the converter improves conversion of Word documents that contain XML content, inline graphics, hyperlinked graphics, WMF/EMF graphics, SmartArt graphics, tracked changes in the document header and footer, Unicode characters, and Japanese Rubi fields. In addition, this version succeeds when converting Word documents that contain bibliography fields, citation fields, and complex tables.

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

When I try to convert docx files, I always get error messages. "Help" that comes with this software offers no explanations. I've searched the Mactopia site, and am not able to find any support offered for Open XML Converter.

In case you missed Ronald P. Regensburg's comment below, XML v1.0.3 is now available, at least from the µS site: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx?pid=Mactopia_AddTools&fid=9D6D9EAA-8442-4184-8886-FAAB2803BDE6#viewer

At best I can tell, it works as advertised.

Enjoy!
