Windows 7: Browse *.docx documentation

  
        

Even if Microsoft Office 2007 is not installed, we can easily browse Word 2007 documents in *.docx format under Windows 7. From the Start menu, choose "Accessories → WordPad" to open the WordPad window, press "Ctrl+O" to open the "Open" dialog box, select "OOXML Text Document (*.docx)" in the File Type drop-down list box. Or "All Wordpad Documents (*.rtf, *.docx, *.odt, *.txt)", you can open the *.docx format file very smoothly, the browsing effect is shown in Figure 7, unfortunately we can not Browse the *.xlsx, *.PPTx format in a similar way, and the *.docx document cannot be viewed under the Explorer's navigation pane.
