Default Converting docx into doc

Since you failed to save the document in the older format before
removing the 2007 beta, you now have a large download and some extra
work to do. Get the Compatibility Pack and the Awareness Update (two
separate downloads) from
http://www.microsoft.com/office/prev...converter.mspx and follow
the (long) instructions exactly.

Now that I removed Word 2007, I am unable to open these files under Office

Urgent help on how to open this under Word 2003 will be greatly appreciated.
