    I tried the program 7zx and the only thing it will do is compress a .cab further. I am trying to use a template for Microsoft Office, but I need it extracted since I use Neo Office.

    There is probably no straight forward way. Microsoft don't exactly like Apple and vice versa.

    Microsoft's own software can extract valuable information from .CAB archives, but like most Microsoft things, they do not allow others from doing so. If you have Microsoft Office installed on your machine, you will be able to import those templates using Microsoft Office and nothing else.
