My 2007 Word will not open any previous word documents?
I downloaded Office Ultimate and got a hard copy backup. The Word program
would not open any of my previous word documents. Also, It only opens a 2007 document as a "Read Only" document. After getting the hard copy, I unistalled it and reinstalled with the hard copy, no difference. I have just gotten a laptop and have the Trial version on it and am afraid to upgrade to my copy in case it does the same thing. I just went back to school after eons and am taking computer classes and really need these programs for my classes. Getting very frustrated... Thanks, Shirley |

Where are these documents you're trying to open? I suspect it's not your
installation of Word that's causing your problems. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "greyhound mom" greyhound wrote in message ...

They are stored in My Documents (the ones that are older version Word) and
the ones that are opening Read Only are the ones that the professor puts on the website for us to use to learn the programs. They open up just fine on my laptop with the trial version, but not on my home PC.Thanks "JoAnn Paules" wrote: Where are these documents you're trying to open?

syou thinkthey are read only? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "greyhound mom" wrote in message ...

My 2007 Word will not open any previous word documents?
No, It says "Read Only". When I try to open a document from Word 2003, I
just get a blue screen. If I go to my Word Program and just open the program, it is just a blue screen and the ribbon doesn't look right. It only goes about 3/4 of the way across the top and is only blues, without the amber orange colors that are supposed to be on it.

From the website that students can use to get a student discount, called the
"Ultimate Steal". "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: From where did you download Office Ultimate? -- Hope this helps.

Do any of the other programs (Excel for example) work correctly?
Seems like the installation might be corrupt and you should try a reinstall. -- Hope this helps.
