Default Older Documents

And following your quote it goes on to say "When I
try to open the documents using MS 2007 the docs do not show up in the
available list."

That implies to me that they are not in the default File Location set in
Word or possibly the wrong file type has been selected in the File, Open
dialog.

You've got the wrong end of the stick. Word 2007 will open documents from
previous versions of Word. This is a completely different problem in that
the user cannot see the old documents. Probably because they have been
restored to the incorrect location.


Terry,

Quote from the OP's post:

"I have tried restoring my documents and have been unable to do so."

That to me, implies that the OP hasn't, for some reason, even been able to
get them onto the new computer.
Until we know PRECISELY what that phrase means, we can't begin to offer a
solution.
