Microsoft Office 2007

Hi

and no not silly question at all, you'll need this http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...70-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466&displaylang=en it will give your office 2003 the compatability to open office 2007 docs in which you can then re-save them in Office 2003 format if you wish.

The new Office 2007 formats are very different to previous office formats, although you can if choosing Save As in Office 2007 save the docs in a format that can be opened by previous Office Editions, choose Save As > Word 97-2003 Document.

Or the compatability patch above works fine too.

 

Hi

Yes you could install multiple versions of Office, however the route to doing that is that you first install the older office which would be office 2003 then office 2007 ( note: you cannot have 2 versions of Outlook installed tho )


Ah I see the trial has expired and no longer allows to to resave!

I would copy all your files needed to your flash drive as a backup, no uninstalling Office does not remove your documents as well, those are left alone, but as I mention back them up anyway, then uninstall Office 2007, then install Office 2003 and any office updates as these are critial to the pack installing ok, then install the Compatability pack which will allow you to open those files created in Office 2007,


I have used it many times as I have Office 2007 at home but work still have not fully tested it to deploy yet, so I have to use the compatability pack, or save in 2003 format.
