Saving In Lower Version

[Rosa Moran]

Just wanted to make sure... if I get Office Professional 2003 can I save documents in a lower version for those that people that do not have the version I'm using

That may sound like a silly question but Crystal Reports has version 9 out and you can't save a report designed in version 9 as a lower version (i.e. version 8.5), and version 8.5 won't read version 9 reports. So I wanted to make sure Office products did not follow that very bad example

Thanks
Rosa

Word, Excel and PowerPoint all use the same format from Office 97 until
2003, so you don't even have to save it as an older version. Access changed
the format in 2002, but you have the option of saving it in the 2000
version.
