go to windows.com there you should be able to find a plug in for office 2000 which will allow you to open docx files. ... here>>>>. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA100444731033.aspx

MS 2007 has the capability of saving a copy to an earlier version.
Or, you could save the 2007 version to a .txt file and open the .txt file in 2000. You will lose formatting though.
Or, you can try a free, online converter at

There is an assortment of programs you can download from OpenOffice.org, most of them free, which will enable you to open/create various documents and such. See the link in "source", below.
I use it when I need to open .doc documents, and others which my system does not support.
