Office 2007

[enner100]

I bought a new PC with Windows Vista and office 2007 installed. Whenever I
e-mail friends with a Word document they are unable to open it.

I am assuming this is because they are only on office XP, office 2000 etc?

If that is right then how do businesses cope? If they upgrade to office
2007 and started sending things out (word docs, excel spreadsheets etc) they
will get loads of clients/businesses they e-mail things to that won't be able
to open what they have sent.

Would I just be better removing office 2007 and going back to Office XP? It
seems pointless in having Office 2007 if only other office 2007 users can
open what I send them.

Hi...

The new version of word saves by default as a .docx. You need to ensure tyou
save the document as a Word 97-2003 compatable document and then they will be
able to open them.

Goto 'save as' and select document type as being word 97-2003. You're done.

Thanks

Dan

It can also be set as the default by going into the options and
selecting the save default as 97-2003
