Harry,


If you don't want to buy Word, you should be able to open your docx 
files in Libre Office or Open Office. Both are free, and both have 
accessible text editors. I have more experience with Open Office, but I 
don't use either program regularly. I know both open docx files, but I 
think only Libre Office saves as docx. I can't swear to this last on a 
stack of bibles.


Good luck.


Ciao
