[FX.php List] [OFF] Trouble with clients trying to download DOCX files from web server

[Andy Walz]

Bob-  I'm not sure if this will be helpful but as I understand it,  
for Macs that do not have MS Office 2008 for Mac you need this plug- 
in in order use .docx, .pptx, or any of the new MS file types at all.

microsoftofficeopenxmlfileformatconverter.html
or
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx?pid=download&location=/ 
mac/download/office2004/converterbeta_0_2.xml

Gotta love Microsoft!
Andy
