Docx is a text file, try TextEdit.

If you have an old word search ".xml converter" and get the appropriate one for your current word. ('04, '03)

docx is used by Microsoft Office 2007 and 2008.
you can download some free equivalent such as open office and open it with that.

X11 is used in emulation... do you have an actual Microsoft Word?

X11 is a window engine that is usually used in Linux.
It is NOT an emulation, it just doesn't use Cocoa.

You might try iWork:

If you just want to read it, you could also select the icon and press the spacebar on 10.5 or 10.6 to open a Quick Look view.
