Office XP docs in Office 97

[Patrick]

Hello everybody,

I would like to know if there is a possibility to use Office XP
documents in Office 97. Not Word only, but also Access, PowerPoint and
Excel documents. I am thinking of converter packs, filters or
something similar.
Does anybody of you have an idea?

File formats have not changed since Office 97 except:
* Access - new unicode format in 2000, and optional large database format
introduced in 2002
* Outlook - new unicode PST format in 2003

So there is no way using Access 2002 documents with Access 97?

Nope - not if you are using an Access 97 file format.
