Ah, I see. Then, I suppose that it is MSO 2007, OOo 3.x, or nothing.
At least, nothing else that I know of can open docx files. But like I
mentioned earlier, they are simply (ha!) XML files and should be
parsable (I would imagine that they are compressed as well but I have
not played with them).

I least at my university, the machines are ghosted at every reboot.
They are running four year old systems with no updates, and reghosted
at least daily. I'm scared to use them, really, and at least here in
Israel I understand that this is not an unusual practice even in the
corporate space.

I'm going to be rich! I will license DotanOffice at only $500 per
copy, but DotanOS will be $1000! I'll let you pirate it for a few
years to get you hooked first, of course!
