Word 2007

[naturaltrust]

On the Ms Office 2007 download page it does not say that I can or cannot use
the files I make with MS Office 2007 in MS Office earlier versions if I
decide not to buy. Can you help me by telling me the if I can use 2007 files
on older Office programs especially for MS Word?

You need to download the "Compatibility Pack" from Microsoft, which
"adds functionality" to Word2003 (and earlier?) if you want to open a
2007 file (.docx) in 2003. (You'll get a note that some new features
may not transfer properly.)

But since you can't force everyone you might send a .docx file to to
install the Compatibility Pack, you might prefer to "Save As" the
97-2003 format (.doc) before you send it out, or else you would
convert the document to .pdf.
