the Microsoft website says they have a compatibility download to enable
Offfice 2000 or Office 2003 users to access Office 2007 documents such as
Word 2007 .docx document types. I have Word 2002, Powerpoint 2002, etc. Which
one would I use? Why doesn't the Microsoft website say which one to use for
2002 products?? Or does it not work for 2002 products?

Thank you

The compatibility pack at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...3-C6BB74CD1466
works with Office 2002 Service Pack 3. (It also works with Office 2000 Service
Pack 3 and Office 2003 Service Pack1.)

According to
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en,
the Compatibility Pack works for Office 2000, XP, and 2003. Word 2002,
PowerPoint 2002, etc., are part of Office XP.

Here's an excerpt from the Compatibility Pack download page:

"By installing the Compatibility Pack in addition to Microsoft Office 2000,
Office XP, or Office 2003, you will be able to open, edit, and save files
using the file formats new to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007."
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Of course you would need to know Word, PPT, Excel, etc 2002 are part of
Office XP. :-)

Mine are often delayed rather than premature. I hate when I sit down at the
computer, hit Send and Receive, and see something being sent--something I
wrote hours earlier and neglected to send before leaving the computer
(although that wasn't the case in this instance).
