I'm running Office 2003 on a Dell with Windows XP. I've installed th
Office Compatiblity Pack (updated to Service Pack 1) in order to be abl
to open Office 2007 documents (with extension .docx instead of .doc).
Used to work. Now it doesn't. Now I get a dialogue asking for th
encoding. (I have to admit that it's fun for my computer to ask i
something is in Chinese. Now you know how I feel!) Nothing I pic
works. Seems like the compatibility pack isn't engaging, somehow.
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the compatiblity pack. No dice.
Haven't yet tried to uninstall and reinstall Office.
One other thing that may be relevant: Recently (in the last week
installed Service Pack 3 for Windows XP. Would that have corrupte
something
