Default Formatting issues opening DOCs in Word 2007

I'm having formatting issues opening older .DOC files from 200 and 2003 in
Word 2007. Indents change, Page numbers change, 2nd page headers go on the
cover page... Any ideas?

Default Formatting issues opening DOCs in Word 2007

Not sure if this will help, but in Word 2007, you could try "Office button"
= "Word Options" = "Advanced" = "Lay out this document as if created in"
(at the bottom).

FWIW, though, the Compatibility Options are saved with the document and
should already be set for the correct version.

I tried setting Compatibility and the Style Set to 2003 and 2000. Neither
helped. I'm awaiting a reply from MSS.
Thanks

Note that a change in printer driver can cause some of what you're seeing
(see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm).
