Guest dennish Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I work in Word 2007 on a Vista server and can't read the files when I send them to my old Windows 200 desktop. How can fix the problem?
Guest Brett I. Holcomb Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Re: Windows 2000 & Vista What format are you saving them in. Word 2007 defaults to it's new format docx. You can change the default or save as doc files.

How can fix the problem? In Word, use "Save As" and select "Word 97-2003 Document". This saves the document with extension *.doc rather than the new *.docx. -- Richard Mueller Microsoft MVP Scripting and ADSI Hilltop Lab - http://www.rlmueller.net --
Guest Varun Malhotra Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 RE: Windows 2000 & Vista Hi, There is one more solution, Just deploy the compatibility patch on your system. The patch is for office 2007 & deploy it on earlier verison of Office. url: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en ---------------------- Varun Malhotra MCSE & CCSA ----------------------- "dennish" wrote: > I work in Word 2007 on a Vista server and can't read the files when I send > them to my old Windows 200 desktop.
