Word 2007 doc. vs Word 2003 doc. "anglirich" <anglirich[ at ]lexcominc.net> 3/28/2007 4:44:15 PM I am running Office 07 on my Win XP Home laptop. I created a doc. and sent it to my work computer that runs Office 2003. When I tried to open it, an error message came up saying that the version pof the doc. sent is newer than my current version, and could not open it up? Are we saying that Word 03 cannot read and open Word 07 docs? Funny, the doc. I sent showed it as a docx. What is this? Thanks, RED

Re: Word 2007 doc. vs Word 2003 doc. "LVTravel" <noone[ at ]nothere.com> 3/28/2007 5:14:53 PM This is the new default file format for Office 2007. There are two possible workarounds. 1. In Office 2007 save as Office 2003 file type (for compatibility.) 2. Download and install Microsoft's compatibility program converter from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=941b3470-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466&DisplayLang=en on your 2003 machine.

RE: Word 2007 doc. vs Word 2003 doc. flycliffyboo 6/9/2007 2:20:01 AM Hi, I have Windows Office 2007 and when you save a document that you want someone with an earlier version of Word to be able to open click on that little circle with the Microsoft logo, then hit "save as" and to your right you'll see an option to save it as a Word 1997-2003 document. Then it will be okay to send and they'll be able to open it. I think docx means you're using Word 2007. Hope this helps you. I'm struggling with Office 2007, too. So completely different!
