How can I view MDI documents in Windows Vista?
I created MDI (Microsoft Document Imaging) documents in Word 2003 (on my old
laptop which used Windows XP). I have since upgraded to a new Vista laptop, and Office 2007 Home and Student, but cannot view any of the MDI documents I created earler. Is there a download that will allow viewing of these files? |

How can I view MDI documents in Windows Vista?
Hi Al,
Microsoft Office Document Imaging is an optional installation feature in both Office 2003 and Office 2007. Check in Programs in the control panel to change the Microsoft Office 2007 feature set to use Document Imaging. If it's installed it should appear in Start Button=All Programs=Microsoft Office=Microsoft Office Tools ============== "Al Moxam" Al wrote in message ...

How can I view MDI documents in Windows Vista?
Hi Randy,
Did you install the optional Microsoft Office Document Imaging feature from the Microsoft Office 2007 choice in the Windows Vista Programs list? It's that feature that reads .MDI files. FWIW, while they did not do it in this case, abandoning a MS proprietary 'better mousetrap' graphics file type after a version or two has happened before. ====================== "RC" wrote in message ... Bob, Question I can not seem to find an answer for is I used to have Office 2003. I then upgraded to a laptop with 2007, I can no longer view my old .mdi files created by the older office. Why would they not include the ability to read retro format, and there seems to be no way other than find a machine with an older version to print them out. does that make sense?? Thanks, Randy -- Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* |

Thanks Bob,
Vista is such a strange creature, and it took me a while to find. I thought it had been installed, and part of it had, but you got some brain cells going. Once I told MS Office to load all options (I could not find anything separate for MODI) it kind of loaded. I could now print to mdi, however, I could still not load. I had to manually hunt for the MODI.exe then point mdi docs to open using it. for whatever reason none of this went smoothly, but now it works! Thanks again, have a great weekend.
