Question : Lotus Notes 5.12 will not launch Office 2007 files .docx

Is there a way to get my Lotus Notes 5.12 version to launch the new file formats docx in Office 2007 or 2010 ?

Answer : Lotus Notes 5.12 will not launch Office 2007 files .docx

Launch as in "view? No, Notes R8 cannot interpret docx files.

As in "Start Word"? AFAIK that should already work. You might try to reinstall either Office or Notes (e.g. using the original CD, right over the current installation), or maybe both.
