Word 2007 doc to Word 2002
I have a one page document created in Word 2007. When I open and save
in Word 2002 it appears normal except it puts an x in the file extension when saved and the file extention becomes .docx. When I close and open the document it does not appear to save but comes back with just the header and footer visible. Suggestions to correct this? Is there a way to get back the original text in the documents already opened and resaved into Word 2002? |

Word 2007 doc to Word 2002
Best bet is to open the ORIGINAL .docx in Word 2007 and then Save as,
choosing Word 97-2003 document. That will save it as a compatible .doc file. -- TedMi |

Word 2007 doc to Word 2002
It appears the you have the Word 2007 compatibility pack installed. This
will allow you to open and save documents in Word 2007 docx format. Docx documents opened using the converter will by default be saved as that version. You would need to change the file save type to Word document .doc to save in the earlier format. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org nip wrote: I have a one page document created in Word 2007.
