There is a MS Office [2007] File Compatibility pack for Office 2000, Office XP and Office 2003 you can install from
http://microsoft.com/downloads that supports opening Office 2007 document files (.docx & .docm), but unfortunately(?) it doesn't
support the 2007 version Word template files (.dotx and .dotm).
You may want to ask the sender to resave as either a Word 2007 document or as a Word97-2003 document and send it to you again.

Got an attachment with dotm file extension. Running Office 2000 premium, with file converter loaded, file opens as machine language.
Word viewer 2007 opens same result. Any ideas?
