That's correct. I'm not sure of all the considerations that led to it,
but the compatibility pack's ignorance of dotx format is by design.


Wow - how incredibly stupid. What about users who have been sent docx
files and don't have access to office 2007? Please don't recommend
installing the office 2007 trial version - if you do that, you won't be
able to revert back to office 2003 without completely reinstalling the
OS, since office 2007 is very sloppy about removing all the various
dlls and resetting the registry on uninstall (we actually tried to
manually clean it up, but it was too big of a mess.

Why in the world can't you make office 2007 files backwards compatible
with this additional piece of software?
