MS word 2003 compatability with older version
I'm working with someone who is compiling documents on a CD for review by
other colleagues. We are using Word 2003 documents, but are unsure what the system and Word versions the recipients have. (they are located in different states, etc) Are Word 2003 documents viewable in older versions/systems? What about compatability PC to Mac? (we are using a PC) And, can they be opened using other word processing software? Thanks! |

(we are using a PC) And, can they be opened using other word processing software? In Word 2003, you can go to Tools, Options, Save, check the "Disable features introduced after" button and pick the version of Word you want to be sure to be compatible with. As for compatibility with other word-processing software, this will always be an iffy proposition. The following article deals with WordPerfect, but the same general principles apply for any other software. WordPerfect to Word converters (and why none of them are perfect) http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/Wo...Converters.htm -- Regards Jonathan West - Word MVP www.intelligentdocuments.co.uk Please reply to the newsgroup |
