Viewing Word 2003 Documents in Word 2000
Hi,
I'm trying to view a word 2003 document in word 2000. The document contains tables and graphics. I noticed in 2000 a portion of one table additionally appears in the top margin of the next page and it's not a continuation from the previous page, it's like a duplicate portion of the bottom of the table. There are a few other weird instances of this issue and none of them appear when viewed in 2003. I tried saving the document in Word 97-2003 & 6.0/95 ..doc format but it did not resolve the issue. I've read that there are some style compatibility issues but there are no custom styles or templates being used. Anyone have any idea? Thanks! |

Viewing Word 2003 Documents in Word 2000
Word 2003 is backwards compatible with 2000, but 2000 is not forwards
compatible with 2003 - and I seem to recall some changes to the way tables were handled. In 2003 try setting the compatibility options to Word 2000 before saving the document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Live101Proof wrote: Hi, I'm trying to view a word 2003 document in word 2000.

Viewing Word 2003 Documents in Word 2000
Hi Graham,
I tried that but it didn't fix the problem. I also tried pasting it into a new document, no luck. It appears "ghosted." What I mean is, if I center the problem area and scroll up, it goes away, but when I scroll back down, it appears again. It's really weird.

That sounds like a Windows display driver issue that was common a while
back. Reduce the hardware acceleration and/or update the display driver. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Live101Proof wrote: Hi Graham, I tried that but it didn't fix the problem.
