Hi,
I created a document in word2007 and saved it as a .doc (97 - 2003) file. I
am now on a different computer using vista and I want to open my .doc file in
word 2003. But when I open it, the file conversion diaglog opens asking me to
select the encoding that makes my file readble. I have the appropriate
software to make .docx files compatible with word 2003 but this should not be
needed. Why can I not open my .doc file (saved in word 2007) in word2003?

It's probably to do with the compatibility mode, you may have to reload
Office or at least Word from your CD.
