How do I create document compatable eith 2003 word and 2007 word?

[Amber]

I am trying to create a form available on a public drive within the company.
Some viewers have word 2003 and others have 2007 version. The problem is that
I need to be able to add drop down boxes in which any user can access
reguardless of which version they have. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you create the documents in Word 2003 format, then users of both versions
will have no problem accessing them. If you use Word 2007 to create the
documents, then save in Word 97-2003 "compatibility" mode early on. For any
dropdown boxes, etc., use Legacy tools rather than Content Control tools.

Create the form using Word 2003.

As long as you have the compatibility pack software that would not be
problem. word 2003 and word 2007 can be viewed with either one of th
versions. have you tried compatibility pack? you can download it a
microsoft site

You don't need the compatibility pack to open in Word 2007 a document
created in Word 2003.
