Office 2003 / 2007 Compatibility Pack

[Mick]

I have Office 2003 with service pack 3 installed. I installed the Office 2007
compatibility pack. I can open powerpoint 2007 and Excel 2007 documents. When
I try to open Word 2007 documents I get "There was an error opening the file"
.. I have download the most recent version of the compatibility pack. Can
anyone help? I have tried uninstalling and reinstall the pack . Thanks for
any replies.

In order for the compatibility pack to work, you must also install all "high
priority" Windows updates. I'd start there.

Thanks for your reply. All the Windows updates are applied.
