Default Reading Word 2003 or 2007 documents in Word 2002

If I have Word 2002 and download the compatibility pack for Word 2007, will I
be able to read and edit documents saved in Word 2003 too?

Yes. Word 2002 can already ready Word 2003 documents, even without the
compatibility pack, because those two versions share the same file format. Word
2007 has a different file format, which is why you need the pack.
