Can't open Word 2003 documents with Word 2002
One of our suppliers cannot open the Word documents we send him. We have
Microsoft Office Word 2003 and he has the 2002 version. When he opens our documents, he gets the following message when he scrolls down to the second page: "Microsoft has discovered a problem and has to shut down." Our documents are not corrupted - people within our organisation open them without a problem. What can we do? Thank you, Caroline |

Can't open Word 2003 documents with Word 2002
Hi Caroline,
One of our suppliers cannot open the Word documents we send him. We have Microsoft Office Word 2003 and he has the 2002 version. When he opens our documents, he gets the following message when he scrolls down to the second page: "Microsoft has discovered a problem and has to shut down." Our documents are not corrupted - people within our organisation open them without a problem. What can we do? Perhaps your documents contain something that is new in Word 2003 and not available in 2002, so 2002 is having a problem. There are a couple of things you can try 1) In Tools/Options/Save you should find a setting that will limit Word to only technology available in a selected earlier version of Word (you can choose the version). You can try activating this, then create a new document (as a test case) and send that to the supplier. 2) Try saving a document to RTF file format, send that and see if the supplier on the other end can open that.
