The OpenXML documents (docx, pptx, xlsx) are generated by Microsoft Office 2007.

Open Office >=3

As of version 3.0 OpenOffice can read the OpenXML documents.

Open Office 2.4

OpenOffice 2.4 cannot read natively the OpenXML documents but a converter developed by NOVELL is available.

This program called odf-converter is in AUR.

Install it and run, for a docx file:

$ odf-converter /I <your_file_name>.docx

if the conversion works it will create a file named <your_file_name>.odt that you can open with OpenOffice.

If it doesn't consider upgrading your OpenOffice version.
