Wow, thank you! I never knew this existed. :D And bless the Internet Archive. [Edit] Just tried it, and it works perfectly! Thank you so much again. (y)

Yes, I only use it for my own documents. In the rare case that I have downloaded a ".docx" file, Word 2003 just refuses to open it (below). So I open those in Google Docs instead.
