Yes. I created the documents in the trial version I purchased for $13.00 as
a trial until Feb 1st 2007 at which time it abruptly ended.

Hi Russell,

It's not clear how Vista plays in this (as in Office 2007 trial going back to Office 2003, is different than Vista trial going back
to Windows XP), but that particular error message can come up from the compatabiliy pack if you try to open an Office 2007 Beta 2
document or a Word 2007 template (i.e. the error message they put in for those 2 conditions implies that the converter is the
problem, when it is trying to say the file being opened is).

Are these documents you created in a pre-release version of Office 2007 by any chance?

Recently installed the Vista Trial version. Feb 1st it expired and I went
back to 2003 Version of Office Professional. However when opening the file
made in 2007 trial it gives me an error " This is a pre release version of
the compatibilility pack and can open pre release Office 2007 files only. Do
you want to check for a newer version of the compatibility pack. I
downloaded the 27MB new version restarted and nothing. HELP HELP I need
that file opened.
