MiCROSOFT COMPATIBILITY??
There is probably an option when you Save As.. to save it to be 2003 compatible





I Am guessing as have never used 2007
Reply:There is a compatibility pack which is available. It should help you out.

Also, you can change the compatibility when you save the file in office 2007.. Click File-%26gt;save as and change the compatibility..





Hope that helped. All the best
Reply:Yes, there is a way of making it work. Microsoft Office 2007 uses a new format called XML (Extensible Markup Language). This reduce file size, improve security and reliability, and enhance integration with external sources. Microsoft Office 2007 can also read and edit documents made in the older format, but Microsoft Office 2003 cannot read or edit documents in the new format (unless they download an update which will allow them to read and edit XML documents). Because of this, the end of the name of the document is now .docx instead of the old .doc. To save files in the old format, press F12 (or go to the office sign and click Save As, it does the same thing). Below the file name it says Save as type:Word document. Click on the part saying Word document. In the menu that comes up, click on Word 97-2003 document. Now the document can be read and edited on a normal Microsoft Office 2003!
Reply:Yes. Go to Tools %26gt; Options and click on the Compatibility Tab. Make sure (in office 2007), to choose the MS Word 2003 option.
