| 729618 | 2008-12-16 03:44:00 | Hi Nigel. Having 2003, you can download the compatibility pack which will open various office 2007 programme documents automatically.... www.microsoft.com |

| 729619 | 2008-12-16 04:26:00 | Hi Scouse, I already had that installed, the problem was that the file was saved in office 2007 format (.docx) but had a .doc extension, so whenever i tried to open it word kept trying to open it as a word document (97-2003 .doc) format, all i had to do was change the file extension to .docx and it opened fine in office 2003 (with the compatibility pack). It seems a bit odd as i have office 2007 on another machine and when I save as a 2003 compatible file, it is compatible, i am guessing that some idiot at the warehouse stationary thought by changing the file extension (rather than saving as 97-2003 version) from .docx to .doc it would change the file format to be compatible. |
