[Andre Campos Rodovalho]

I also recommend you to install LibreOffice if you need to open docx
files...

>> I am having trouble opening Word documents (specifically Word 2007
>> .docx​).
>> After saving to "Downloads" and right clicking "open with", several
>> options come up (including "document.XML" , none of which are able to open
>> it.
>> Also, after opening Abiword and trying to access the document there, I
>> cannot open it.
>>
>> The only way I can open these docs is by hovering over it in the Gmail

>> Firefox, from where I can then view, and print, the document.
>>
>> But I would appreciate being able to also open them in Abiword.
>>
>> Thanks in advance for your help.
