Default Using 2007 Word to open 2003 Word document

I just installed Office 2007. When I opened any Word 2003 document, the
formatting seems to be all skewered. For example, a page breaks off in the
middle, and a five page document becomes five and half. Will someone please
tell how to us Word 2007 in opening a Word 2003 document without the former
formatting?

The difference is almost certainly caused by differences in the Printer
Driver. (It also points to some probably irrational formatting in the
original document).
