version compatibility
Are there any formatting differences in viewing documents in Word 2003 SP1
that were created in Word 2002 in Office XP? Can newer versions of Microsoft Office software always view correctly documents created in older versions? |

Theoretically, documents created in Word 97 through Word 2003 use the same
file format and are both backward- and forward-compatible. In actuality, some copies of some versions have problems opening some documents created in earlier or later versions, but this is usually caused by outside factors rather than anything intrinsic to Word. -- Suzanne S.
