We are getting questions about opening Word 2007 docs in our Word 2003 software. Word 2007 saves documents with a .docx extension, not a .doc. From the Office website, it says…
To open Microsoft Office Word 2007 .docx or .docm files with Microsoft Office Word 2003, Word 2002, or Word 2000, you need to install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for 2007 Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint File Formats and any necessary Office updates. By using the Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system, you can open, edit some items, and save Office Word 2007 documents in previous versions of Word.
I will email Tracey and ask about the compatibility pack!
Encourage people to save their Word 2007 documents as .doc, and then Word 2003 will recognize it and open it.
