Attachement

[Lizzie]

I sent a Word email attachement from home to my office

The document came as a .docx attachement and I cannt open it.

I have version 2007 at home and version 2003 at work.

I appreciate your assistance.

Thank you.

See 'Compatibility pack' on MS site

Or in Office 2007, save the file in 'old' format & resend

Then download and install the Compatibility package that Microsoft
offers for just that kind of issue. (link below for your convenience )

Or, if your work admins prohibit downloading and installing software on your
company machine (wise admins!), you can change you file at home to be of the
97-2003 format and then re-send it to yourself at work.

Wise admins do NOT allow users to alter the work environment. This way lies
madness!
