Open your docx file with MS Word 2007. Then, click on the left panel of the window of the MS Word application where the logo of MS Word 2007 is present. Next, click on "Save As" and then select "Word 97-2003 Document." After that, provide a new name for your docx file and click "Save."

Your docx file will be saved in doc format with the new name.

As discussed above, please open the file in Office 2007 by double-clicking on it. Then, navigate to the 'Save As' option and select the format Word 97-2003. Specify the destination and save the file. It's simple!

Thank you.

Visit the following link. This should solve your problem:

[Open a Word 2007 document in an earlier version of Word - Word - Microsoft Office](http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/open-a-word-2007-document-in-an-earlier-version-of-word-HA010044473.aspx)

You need to install a file converter on the machine having Word 2003 that will help open DOCX files even on Word 2003.

Download OpenOffice from openoffice.org; it's free. You can open any document, including docx, and convert it to any format, including doc and even PDF, while keeping links intact. Just use the "Save As" option. It is a free and very good alternative to MS Office.

Note: By default, it saves in odt format. So, instead of the save option, use the "Save As" option and save in doc format. You also have Excel, PowerPoint, and every other feature that MS Office offers.

I saw this today - 6/02/2011, and believe that by now you have found multiple ways of converting. I didn't see one method in the response, so I am writing. You can download a DOCX converter (available for free) and install it on your PC. So, even if you don't have MS-Office 2007, you can still open, read, and save DOCX files in .doc format.

Hi Friends, you want to convert Docx into Doc in MS Word, and that is a very easy process. You just need to open the file and click the Office button. Then, you will see an option to save as. Click this button, and you will see the "save as type" option. Just click this button, and you will see 97-2003 doc. This is how you convert Docx into Doc in MS Word.

Please download and install the DocX converter, which is 2.48 MB in size. It can be useful for users who are using Office 2003. For other applications like Excel, there is a similar application available.
