Clearly you haven't read the question or the answer. The issue is not
whether Word 2007 can produce Word 97-2003 format documents, but whether
Word 2003 can use Word 2007 format documents.

While you may be able to open Word docx format with the addition of

still don't have Word 2007 and so some 2007 specific features will
not work. Ask the originator to send you the document in Word
97-2003 format.
In my opinion, it is utter arrogance, not to mention stupidity, on the
part of Microsoft not to provide a free conversion utility that will
do exactly what Word 2007 does when I Save As Word 97-2003.
They made a huge and incompatible change to a program used by almost
everyone. This company is out of control.
