word 97 -->word 10?

I have word 97 at home and at school they use Vista and whatever version word that is
I can't save a word'10 and then open it using word'97?

Or can I?

How do I prevent this from occuring? change the save as file formatt?

so how can I bring up a Word'10 doc using Word 97?

 

I'm referring to Word 2007, so I'm guessing the Word 2010 has the same option. Word 2007 allows saving a file in Word 97-2003 format. If you have that option in Word 2010, using it would allow you to open those files at home.

 

yeah, this is what I had to do
I didnt even think about what format I saved it in when I was at school..
I had to break out my laptop and use it to open and resave
sheeesh
