Reading Office 2007 format in Office 2003
I have Office 2003 with all available updates. I have also installed the
compatibility pack for the Office 2007 system and all available updates. This is on a Windows XP Pro SP3 system. I have two .doc files which were sent to me by email. I believe they are scans of a printed document. In any case, I am unable to view them with Word 2003. I *can* view them using WordPad, and they look fine. I can also view them on a different computer which does not have MS Office, but does have the MS Word Viewer v1.8313.8221 SP3. I would like to be able to view these documents in Word 2003. Is this possible, and if so how do I fix my problem? Thanks! Sorry for the cross posting. None of these groups seem to be exactly what I want, but I can't find any that are better. John -- Please reply in this newsgroup. I never post my true email address to prevent spam. Thank you. |

Install the Word Viewer. Those files are they from another version of Office aside
from 2003 or 2007 -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged. "John" wrote in message ...

Reading Office 2007 format in Office 2003
You don't tell us what happens when you try to open the two documents in
Word 2003. Does Word open? Do the documents open? Are there any error messages? Please explain what happens when you try to open the documents in Word. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "John" wrote in message ... I have Office 2003 with all available updates.

I *thought* that all versions of Word were backward compatible with documents created by earlier versions. And since these documents wouldn't open, I assumed they were created by a *newer* version. These documents were created by Word v9.0. Word in Office 2003 is v11.8307.8221 SP3. Are you're telling me that Word v11 is by design incapable of opening documents created by Word v9?
