Open a *.docx.part file ?

MSWord 2003 will not open a *.docx.part file that received in email.
:-o
Thoughts on how to do ?

 

.part files are just that, part files that may or may not contain the data you're looking for (in a vary basic - unusable - format). You need to download it again to use it in Word - even then, you'll need the Office 2007+ compatibility update patch to be able to read it correctly.

 

Thank you for the reply !
Unforutunately it was emailed in that format, and not able to get it otherwise.
Maybe a freebee download that may be able to convert/print etc it to a pdf, xps, tif, etc ?

 

The only time I can ever recall seeing .part extension was during a large download. If you stop the download before it's completed, the .part is usually left on the desktop but the main download icon disappears.

You can try this:

in an attempt to convert it, but frankly I doubt it will work. Frankly I think someone sent you a partial download as an attachment.

 

If your problem is with the *.docx format, you need to install this.

Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint File Formats.

akm, it's incomplete, either your contact needs to re-download it or it could be some malware/infection attempt - 'phone your contact and ask them about it?
