    A ha~ it's the new word format for Office 2007.

    If you didn't have the Office 2007 installed on your computer, you could right click the documents, and choose "wordpad" in PC system to open.

    Otherwise, you could download a converter for it.

    here to try:

    There are several ways to open and read .docx files. A few methods involve installing softwares while a few other are online tools.

    .docx is a new file format introduced by Microsoft, since Office 2007. This new format supports the open XML standard introduced by Microsoft in Office 2007.However earlier versions of Microsoft Office products including Office 2003 cannot open documents saved in this format by Office 2007.
