How to open .docx file in OpenOffice 2.3? (in Windows)

As I was trying to resume my work, I realized I have a .docx that I needed to open, most of the info is in there. The problem is I don’t use Microsoft Office, I’m using OpenOffice 2.3. Googled around a bit and found, Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats.

Installed it without any problems, there’s no shortcut or anything to run the program. I double-clicked the .docx file and it runs the Microsoft Open XML Converter and I can save it to .doc format. After saving it, I double-clicked the .doc file and the converter runs again, trying to convert it into another format.

Went to the properties of the file and change the Opens with to OpenOffice Writer. Finally, I can resume my work.
