Word 2007 changing Word 2000 files
I tried Word 2007, didn't like it, and went back to Word 2000.
Unfortunately, it appears that all files created before I tried Word 2007 have been changed to Word 2007 format (even though they were never opened or saved with Word 2007). When I try to open with Word 2000 now, all I get is gibberish. Is it possible that 2007 changed the file formats? If so, how can I change them back so I can use with 2000? I have tried to use the recover text from any file, and still have gibberish. -- Goofypal |

Word 2007 changing Word 2000 files
If the files were never opened and saved in Word 2007, Word 2007 has not
changed them. They will be exactly as they were before. What is more interesting is why Word 2000 can no longer open them. Have you uninstalled Office 2007 completely? Have you re-installed Word 2000 from the original disc? If so then see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Goofypal wrote: I tried Word 2007, didn't like it, and went back to Word 2000.
