Default How do I open Windows 2007 Beta Word files in Windows XP?

The easy way is to use the "Save as type" dropdown in the Save dialog of
Word 2007 and save the file in "Word 97-2003 (*.doc)" format.

The hard way is to install the converter pack that you can download from
http://www.microsoft.com/office/prev...converter.mspx.
