I have a trial 2007 office and loaded 2003 office- how do I transf

[MOM]

Hi,
I don't know too much about different versions of Office. I have a trial
2007 office on my new PC which I have been using. It expired so I can no
longer edit my documents. So I loaded a 2003 student and teacher version
that I had thinking everything would automatically transfer over. Well it
didn't and now I have both versions 2007 and 2003 loaded on my computer. I
tried to transfer a documnet from the 2007 version to 2003 so I could edit it
but it won't let me. Can someone please tell me what I need to do now?
Thanks.

I would recommend that you uninstall both versions of Office and thed
reinstall the 2003 version. You will also need the compatibility pack if you
didn't save your documents in the older format.

Thanks JoAnn,
I didn't save my documents in an older format. What is the compatibility
pack? I wish I would have just loaded the 2003 version in the beginning. I
knew that the trial version would expire but I didn't realize it would lock
up my documents. I just wanted to see what the 2007 version was like compared
to the older versions I have used. Thanks for your help.

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=923505 "How to install the
Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack so that you can use earlier versions
of Excel, PowerPoint, and Word to open and to save files from 2007
Office programs".
