I wrote up a simple script to automatically convert .docx to .txt files for those who don’t have Office 2007 (.docx is the new default word format).

There aren’t readers out for Mac/Linux yet, so if you get a file you’re pretty much stuck. Although this should help 😃

Took about 2 and a half hours from idea -\> domain reg -\> completion. Not bad 🙂

If you guys like the idea you can digg it here: [http://www.digg.com/apple/docx\_converter\_now\_supports\_formatting](http://www.digg.com/apple/docx_converter_now_supports_formatting)
