Open .Docx in openoffice.org

Sometimes you will find .docx, .xlsx ....
It can not be opened with current Openoffice.org

Here  is the way to open .docx, .xlsx in your openoffice.org

You only need to install ODF Converter from .deb
Here is the way :

Step 1 : Download the converter .rpm here       

Step 2 : To convert this .rpm package to .tgz you need to Install ALIEN
sudo aptitude install alien

Step 3 : Convert .rpm to .tgz with ALIEN
fakeroot alien -ct odf-converter-1.0.0-5.i586.rpm

Step 4 : Unpack .tgz package
tar xzf odf-converter-1.0.0.tgz

Step 5 : Copy files into your OpenOffice.org directories

sudo cp usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program/OdfConverter /usr/lib/openoffice/program/
sudo cp /usr/lib/ooo-2.0/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice
/TypeDetection/Filter/MOOXFilter_cpp.xcu /usr/lib/openoffice/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice/TypeDetection
/Filter/
sudo cp /usr/lib/ooo-2.0/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice
/TypeDetection/Types/MOOXTypeDetection.xcu /usr/lib/openoffice/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice/TypeDetection
/Types/
(Note : When you copy this code remember to remove "enter" separator)

Step 6 : Restart OpenOffice. 

Now you can open and edit .docx, .xlsx files using OpenOffice.org.

Enjoy It.....
