Compatiblity options
Can someone please tell me what compatibility my computer should be set too?
In tools, options, compatibility, Recommended Options For: should it be set too? I'm currently using Office 2003. Also, how do you find out what some of the choices mean? I really wish they didn't get rid of the option of right clicking on something and choosing what's this? I really need that back. Thanks. |

Compatiblity options
New documents you create should by default have the Compatibility set to
"Microsoft Office Word 2003" unless you have changed any of the settings, in which case they will be "Custom." Existing documents will probably have compatibility set to the version in which they were created; you can either leave this alone or update it (which may result in some changes in formatting). For an explanation of the options, see "Description of the Compatibility options that are available in the Options dialog box in Word 2003, Word 2002, and Word 2000" at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=288792 Note that many of the options apply only to East Asian text. -- Suzanne S.

Compatiblity Options: Saving Files From MS Word 2003 to 2002
Hi;
I currently have important documents saved in Word 2003 within a TRIAL version of MS Office 2006 on my new XP Home ed .Compaq pc The orginal files were typed & saved in WORDPAD on my old WIN 98 pc. When I emailed them to myself & tried to save them in wordpad on my new pc, they got "forced" into WORD documents, along with the original fortmatting and conversion into pages..looks pretty good. I don't need that whole Office Suite, so I purchased Word 2002. I was told that I will have to UNINSTALL this Trial Version before installing Word 2002. My question/concern is whether the documents I already saved in Word 2003 will automatically be saved WITH all my formatting , fully accessible, & "editable" after installing Word 2002? The retailer warned me that I MIGHT lose my formatting, but more than likely, there should not be any problem as the WORD Versions are fairly close. Will I have to RE-SAVE each document to Word 2002 on my new pc, OR re-send them all again from my OLD pc as Wordpad files, and let them once again to be "Force-Saved" into Word 2002, like they were with Word 2003? Is there anything I should do with these files BEFORE uninstalling Word 2003 /MS office TRIAL version to insure a smooth transition/prevent any loss of formatting, etc, or is Word 2003 compatible enough with Word 2002 that I shoudn't have any problems? I plan on doing all this BEFORE my trial version expires! (I just received the Word 2002 CD) and would appreciate any feedback or tips before proceeding from anyone who moght have already tried this, or is more knowledgeable than myself on this compatibility issue. (Also, is it recommended I uninstall the WHOLE Office 2006 Trial Version or just the Word 2003 WITHIN it when I do this?) Thanks!
