If you are asking why you can't open a Word 2007 document with an earlier
version of Word, then the reason is that the file formats are incompatible -
unless you have installed the Word 2007 compatibility pack
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/pr...686761033.aspx . Word 2007
can, however also save in Word 97-2003 format, which would be compatible.
