Migration from Office 2007 B2TR to Office 2007 release

[Onegin]

I am about to buy 2007 release after several months of succesful B2TR use.

I have read the following in the Office Pioneer blog:

1. You'll need to re-save any document created by the Beta products in the
97-2003 format. The 2007 release is NOT able to open documents created by the
Beta code.

Can anyone comment on the truth of this advice? I remember when I moved from
B2 to B2TR that there were some hiccups with file formats, but I certainly
didn't have to convert them via 97-2003. Also, I thought that B2TR fully
implemented the ECMA standard: if that is the case, how would the release
know the difference between a B2TR doc and a release doc?

Regards
Steve - prepared to convert all my docs but hoping not to have to...

Well my version of Office 2007 open Word docs that were created in beta, and
pos up a dialog box to save them in new format. Not really a rpoblem , a
single click

I have office xp home edition & installed office 2007 btr2. The file format
convertors to excel 2003 do NOT work under as the BTR2 file format is
incompatible with microsoft file converters. The work around posted in the
knowledge base does not work with XP home edition. Now I'm up the creek
without a paddle - any ideas?
