Has anyone found a way to open .docx files (the Office 2007 format for word) on their MAC?

I found that iWork '08 Pages seems to be able to open the files fine... but I was hoping to use my MS Office 2004.

For Win versions of Office thre is a Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack... but I cannot find this for the Office 2004.

Ideas?

Thanks,

The converter is still in beta for the Mac but it can be found here http://www.microsoft....

P.S. I used it to test out on a few files for faculty, and it seemed to work fine for me.

I should probably also add that it was a little confusing for me as it does not work like the PC version. After installing it you have to get info on one of the .docx files and tell it to open with the converter.
