Our organization is a small not-for-profit that conducts
research projects for manufacturing firms. We recently
conducted a wage and salary survey.
We created our questionnaire in Word 2000, and used
the "forms" feature to create text fields for data entry
by responding companies. We locked the document with a
password to prevent altering formats.
A few of the returned questionnaires have been bizarre.
For example, our original document is 53 pages in length.
Today, we received a questionnaire with 111 pages in
length. We called the company and learned that it had
processed our questionnaire in Word XP.
In other instances, returned questionnaires have had
manual page breaks added. We have not made any phone calls
to investigate.
In other curious instances, form fields have been added in
the footer, or error messages referring to bookmarks are
appearing in the footer---although the original file was
password protected.
My question:
Does Word XP change formatting of Word 2000 documents,
when saved, and reopened by Word 2000?
