Default Cannot open Word 2007 doc even with Compatibility Pack install

Using Windows XP SP2 and Office 2003 SP2. Tried it on two machines and both
came up with the same error.

The webpage I got the compatibility pack from was
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

I'm not sure if the document I have been sent was created with the release
version of 2007 or a beta, but the error message suggests it's the release
version.

Hi Steve,

Can you tell us the version of Windows you're working on and the URL for the web page you end up for the download?

The release converters can have problems with Office 2007 beta files created in older 2007 Office beta builds.
