Purchased this product in March with the understanding that it was FULLY
compatible wtih Word 2003. Am an MT and now find myself unable to work until I can find a nonexisting Word 2003 program. Why would MS put out a NEW program and not leave all of the files for downloads from pre-existing Word 2003 since that is the bread and butter of most systems in use now? I keep being told that there is no way that I can get the full Word 2003 and it is obviously not available anywhere. Why not at least give us poor fools a patch to downgrade to what we need to work in the business climate as it is? This is surely not an upgrade when it cannot be used to download files needed for my work. NOT COMPATIBLE |

JoAnn,
The tech attempted to download their software so that I could start work and it is not possible. He just had to stop. They, as all transcription companies, are not upgraded to what is being sold to the public as "compatible." I do suppose it does put the pressure on them to upgrade as people's systems do crash and there are those of us who do not keep our Word 2003 disk when we upgrade. Is there any other option than to quit working at home? Borrowed computer and found it had Word Perfect 12 on it and, of course, that is incompatible also. I need help so that I may work again.

What files do you need to download? You can open older word files in Word
2007 and you can save 2007 files in an older format. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "donnajune1" wrote in message ...

JoAnn, I did the download that was suggested, notified the tech with my
update. Was referred to Dicataphone tech and there is not option of using Office Home and Student since files are missing that are needed. I have no options, unless you have some idea, and will not be able to go back to work in medical transcription , per tech as Dictatphone until companies have been able to update and become compatible with Office, etc. Seems they are at least 6 months in doing so. Any ideas how to find an Office and Word 2003 that only that Word could be downloaded? Looked in tigerdirect...nothing. "JoAnn Paules" wrote: What files do you need to download?

Tech at Dictaphone claims too many missing and no way to become compatible. I
only know that EXText 2003 is one. I know little and just keep being told same thing over and over. THX. Wish you could help? I guess only Bill knows the answer.

What I think you are saying is that you need to use a software product from
Dictaphone with Word, but that the product is not yet compatible with 2007 and therefore you need 2003? There is nowhere you can legally download Word 2003 and buying as an individual product may not be the cheapest way to obtain it. Look out for deals on Office 2003. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org donnajune1 wrote: JoAnn, I did the download that was suggested, notified the tech with my update.

Hi Donna June,
It sounds like the software you're using is from Nuance/Scansoft's Dictaphone Healthcare Express speech. The Dicatphone products are using the underlying Dragon speech engine. Dragon Medical v9 is compatible with Office 2007, http://nuance.com/naturallyspeaking/matrix/medical but I don't know if the 2003 version of the Dictatphone branded product (http://nuance.com/dictaphone) would be. ==== "donnajune1" wrote in message ...
