Opening Word 03 docs with Word 07
Just switched computers and now run Vista with Word 07. Saved my files from
my old computer (XP, Word 03) to a flash drive, then to new computer. Some of these word files open, some do not. The ones that do open, open in compatibility mode as they are supposed to. The ones that won't open do open a Word document, but it's always blank and 7 pages long and doesn't have compatibility mode in the window beside the name. Any ideas?? |

Opening Word 03 docs with Word 07
Hi ?B?U2t5ZQ==?=,
Just switched computers and now run Vista with Word 07. Saved my files from my old computer (XP, Word 03) to a flash drive, then to new computer. Some of these word files open, some do not. The ones that do open, open in compatibility mode as they are supposed to. The ones that won't open do open a Word document, but it's always blank and 7 pages long and doesn't have compatibility mode in the window beside the name. Any ideas?? And you're sure the text isn't formatted as hidden or white? Are you able to select anything in this "emptiness"? You still have that old computer?

Opening Word 03 docs with Word 07
Cindy -
I don't know how to know if the text is formatted as hidden, but it's not white. I can highlight/select a paragraph-sized space on the first page, but that's all that appears to be in the document. Yes, I still have the old computer. Skye "Cindy M." wrote: And you're sure the text isn't formatted as hidden or white? Are you able to select anything in this "emptiness"?

Hi ?B?U2t5ZQ==?=,
I don't know how to know if the text is formatted as hidden, but it's not white. I can highlight/select a paragraph-sized space on the first page, but that's all that appears to be in the document. Do you have the display of non-printing characters activated? (That's the backwards 'P' in the Home tab of the Ribbon.) If not turn that on and see if you can see anything at all on the page? If you can, does the text have dots under it? How about if you copy what you can select, open a new document, then use the "Paste special" entry from the menu on the "Paste" button (also Home) tab. Select the "unformatted Text" entry. Does that give you the text (without any formatting)? Yes, I still have the old computer. OK, don't throw it away,yet...
