Opening Word 2003/2007 Documents
I have Microsoft Vista with Microsoft Works. Everytime I try to open a
Microsoft Word document it seems to open in Notepad (and all of the words are gibberish) Can I open Word 2003 / 2007 documents in Vista without having Office dowloaded on my computer. Is there some sort of converter I can dowload and use? If so will it support 2000 (if people are still using) along with 2003 and 2007? Thank you for any help! -- Dana |

Opening Word 2003/2007 Documents
There is a Word viewer at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en. This allows you to open documents from Word 2003 and earlier. Together with the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en, you can use it to open Word 2007 docs as well. Note that there's also a service pack for the Compatibility Pack. A lot of downloads, but in combination, they should do what you need. -- Suzanne S.
