If you want a more universal format, you can convert it to PDF (most people
have Adobe Reader) or RTF. None of these solutions will help with filling
out forms, however (unless you create a fillable PDF form). But users who
have Word 97 or above should be able to open Word 2003 documents.

I have Word '03. I created a form that i would like to email around. How
should i save the document? With what file extention? It needs to be
accessed
by those that dont have the current version of word.
I've already tried saving it as a word '97 version and people were still
unable to open it.

any suggestions?
thanx!
