Microsoft Word 2007 uses the .docx format for saving documents. These files cannot be opened using the older versions of Word (word 97 – 2003) or other word processors. If you don’t have Word 2007 installed, you should require some other tools to view these documents, such as a word a reader or word viewer from Microsof. But, what about if you can open these documents (DOCX) using your browser?

The OpenXML Document Viewer team has created a browser plug-in for converting Word document (.DOCX) into HTML format so that it can be viewed on a browser. As DOCX format is basically an extended XML format, it can be easily converted to HTML format.

The current release supports Internet Explorer 7, IE 8, Opera 9.62, Firefox 3.browsers on the Windows OS (XP, Vista and above) and Opera 9.62 and Firefox 3 on Linux .

Installation instruction, download a suitable plug-in for your browser from here. For example, download plug-in for Firefox.

1. Extract OpenXMLViewer to a temporary folder
2. Open ‘OpenXMLViewer_Win_Firefox.xpi’ with Firefox and install the plug-in.
3. Restart your browser and open the required word document using the browser to read.

PaperBus-free & fast web proxy solution for anonymous internet surfing

There are several free proxy solutions available for downloading ( we had covered few of them in the previous posts ), but from my personal experience most of them are very slow in my country. If you are looking for a free, fast and reliable proxy solution for anonymous surfing, Here is a new multi-platform application, PaperBus (ad-supported) which lets you surf anonymously and bypass internet filters. Paper bus (brought you by Open Terrace Ltd the same company that made commercial proxy service Freedur) is very easy to use. Simply install, and run. No registration required. The only down side is there will be an ad web browser tab popping up in every twenty minutes while you are using it. Another interesting feature of PaperBus is that you can create a list of websites you don't want to surf through PaperBus. PaperBus is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux systems. Download appropriate version from here. ( via )
