Office version compatability
Hi,
If an office has multiple users using different versions of office( Office 2000, Office XP, Office 2003) are there any problems reading say, Word documents? For example, if a user saves a Word document and sends it to someone using Word 2000, will they be able to open it; or will they get an error. Does the person with the newer version of Office 2003 need to manually save it as an older version of office to make it readable? Thanks, |

Office version compatability
The file format for Word has been the same from Word 97 - Word 2003 so
they are compatible. Now, there have been a few enhancements to various features that may not display the same between versions but they shouldn't prevent the files from being opened unless the documents are password protected with am encryption level not recognized by the previous version. I open documents created in Word 2003 in previous versions all the time and have yet to encounter any substantial variations. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for assistance by email can not be acknowledged. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP Word FAQ: http://mvps.org/word TechTrax eZine: http://mousetrax.com/techtrax/ MVP FAQ site: http://mvps.org/ "Rob Hutchinson" wrote in message ...
