When you open a Word 2007 document in an earlier version using the
Compatibility Pack, is the result not the same as what you get when you save
a Word 2007 document in Word 97-2003 format?

don't have Word 2007 and so some 2007 specific features will not work. Ask
the originator to send you the document in Word 97-2003 format.
In my opinion, it is utter arrogance, not to mention stupidity, on the
part of Microsoft not to provide a free conversion utility that will
do exactly what Word 2007 does when I Save As Word 97-2003.
They made a huge and incompatible change to a program used by almost
everyone. This company is out of control.
