Is there a Vista converter for Office 2003?

Office 2003 does not need any converter at all to install in a machine with
Vista operating system. If you are having an issue installing the Office
program, post any exact error messages you are receiving. Also, if you are
attempting to install an OEM version of Office from a previous machine to a
new Vista machine, it can not be done as the program would be tied to the
original machine.. Here I am, trying to read a poster's mind.

Actually, I am not trying to install anything; I am attempting to read and
access files that have been sent to me from others who are using the new
Windows Vista operating system and I am running Office 2003. I am trying to
determine if there is converter that I can use in a similar manner that I
downloaded in order to access files originated from Microsoft 2007 software.

Does this description of my problem make sense?

No - Windows Vista has no control over the file formats. The programs used to create the files have that option. Vista is an operating system not a program. What programs are you having issues with opening their files?

Adding to Milly's excellent advice you might also want to take a look at this Compatibility Pack for Office 2003

Before installing this Pack make sure that you go to Office Update and install all needed Updates for your Office 2003 version
