One of my friend forwarded a mail asking me to convert his file which is in docx format to a normal word document format. I thought if I could do it without any convertor. So I applied a traditional method of opening the file in my Firefox browser by selecting view option in my mail itself. I am Gmail user so it opened in Google docs. I selected the text and with the help of keyboard shortcut Ctrl + C copied and pasted it in word Document and started to organize the matter which almost took 10 min. If the document had a different font then it would take further 5 min more to match the appropriate font. So though the above method is worth to follow it had its own risk. I had to use Ctrl + C because copy option was not available in the right click, and also if it a font other than times new roman it took some time to match the correct font. So in order to avoid the above time taking process I found two websites which is allowing a free conversion of Docx format to Doc.
