Office Professional 2007

[Apan]

I am running Office XP and suddenly the outgoing mail is hanging up on me. I
could not run repair stating the version I have in the computer is more
current than the CD.
My question is - are the 2007 files backward compatible? The people I work
with have 2003 and 2002 versions of Office. Will they be able to pull up the
files created in 2007?
An early response will be highly appreciated.
I cannot use my e-mail now.

What does you email issue have to do with Office 2007? I'm confused about
that part.

You can save your files as an older version so that your coworkers cam read
them. Or they can download the free compatibility pack from Microsoft's
site.

You could Save As... in Office 2003 to Office 2002 format for your
coworkers, or you could get them to download the Office 2007 Compatibility
Pack so they could access your files. In lieu of replacing your entire
Office suite you could diagnose your mail problem instead. Repair on the CD
is probably complaining because there is a newer service pack installed.
You could get around that problem by removing Office and then a fresh
install. You would have to reinstall any service packs from Microsoft
Update afterwards. Installing Office 2007 is not necessarily going to
address your mail problem.

What is happening with my outgoing mail is - As soon as insert numbering at a
point it started from the top of the page and then hangs up. This in Office
XP. I thought - if can not repiar the software then I do not have a choice
other than buying a new version.
I ran virus scan and system came out clean.
Are my PST files are safe at ocuments and setting if re-install the Iffice XP?

This is what I am going to do.

All terribly confusing, you state you are running OfficeXP, but you have
Office 2007 as the subject line

I am sorry. I got very fraustrated today. I am running Office XP and that is
giving me the problem. I was ready to buy 2007 just to get over the problem.
That is where 2007 came in for backward compatibility.
Whenever I use numbering the mail hangs on me. If I change something to Bold
- the whote text becomes Bold. If I change spacing between the paragraphs in
one place - the whole text takes the same spacing.
I was able to mail without numbering. There is something happened with the
Styles. I started with Normal Style and that is default. As soon as I started
typing the Style changed to something else.
I will try to reinstall the software and see what happens before I try to
buy the upgrade.

Thank you all for responding so quickly.

Uninstall/Reinstall rarely cures any problem that a Detect/Repair cannot
cure, niether will an upgrade of Office neccesarily cure a problem.
Now that we know it is styles causing the problem doubtless someone will
chip in with the answer
