Word 2007 and earlier versions
This has to do with my efforts to convert from WP to Word 2007. I am having
almost as much frustration with compatibility between MSW 2007 documents and procedures compared to earlier versions of MSW (which most of my associates have) as I was with MSW & WP. If that makes any sense. Am tempted to put an earlier version of Word on my system. Will the two versions of Word co-exist on the same computer? Thanks for any help Jerry |

Thanks for any help Jerry Yes you can - however, by far the easiest way is to set the default "save" function of Word 2007 to Word 97-2003 type documents... Office Button-Word Options-Save and change the format in the dropdown box.... HTH |

Word 2007 and earlier versions
What Gordon said. :-))
A couple of notes, If I may. An alternative might be for your colleagues to install the file format compatibility package for earlier Word versions. That would require some discussion and agreement. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en If you decide to install more parts of Office than just Word, be aware that only one version of Outlook can be used. Be sure to do a custom install and _not _ install Outlook from the earlier Office version. Tom MSMVP 1998-2007 "JERRY" JERRY@HOME wrote in message ...
