If you are not running Mactopia (Mac::Office) you will come across couple problems specially when it comes to opening docx. With the regular TextEdit you can view the content but if there is any tables, graphics, charts..etc it might not appear as it was with Office.

From my experience, I came to two nice solutions the first one is a pretty simple web based converter that you upload the file too and its will convert and email you a doc version of the file (docx-converter.com) yet, this service is not efficient. After I submitted the file it took 4 hours to be received in my inbox, my favorite method is to use NeoOffice its free and can run all doc format. The look and feel might be a little different but its very reliable and easy to use.

If you have other tools to suggest please don't hesitate to mention them on the feedback/comment form,
