How do I open "filename._docx files"?

I'm running Windows 7 and Word 2010 and have been receiving word files with a  "._docx" file type.

I can't open this and there is no possibility of making an association in control panel.

Is there a way to open these files or do I need a later version of Word?

Answer

You should probably get in touch with the person sending you the files.  However the _ should not be in the file name so you could try renaming the file to remove it from the file extension so that it is merely

.docx
