In new versions of Microsoft Office, since 2007year, a new file format was introduced. As written, it differs from the old addition of the letter "x" at the end of the extension. This is caused by the appearance of new functions.

But Microsoft has developed a compatibility package to open new format files in older versions of the office.

Compatibility update package namedFileFormatConverters is on the Microsoft website, and it is available for download at this link. It is installed without any problems on the old versions of Office XP, 2003 and others. After installation unknown files of the "X" format are defined as Microsoft Office documents and opened in the usual way by double click or through the "Open" item in the program window.
