Default e Mail attachment

I received an attachment recently, which, when I opened it, appeared as
gobbledegook- I have Windows xp and Offfice 2000 & it seems the attachment
was written in Office 2007. I forwarded the e mail and attachment to
another
computer and it appeared as normal, but the second computer does have
Office
2007.
I have never ever had this problem before. What has happened-do I need to
upgrade to Office 2007 or later?

You either need to download and install the Office 2007 Compatibility Pack

or get your sender to do a Save As into 97-2003 format.
