If you are running Office 2003 on your computer but want to open a document that was created using Office 2007, you will notice that the file extensions on the document now include an "x" such as .docx, .xlsx or .pptx. Because of the different file extensions, your Office 2007 files are incompatible with Office 2003 and you will not be able to open and edit those files.
To resolve your compatibility issues, Microsoft provides a free compatibility pack to convert Office 2007 documents to the Office 2003 format. There are many free, third-party converters available online but NMC recommends that you use the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack.
Follow these steps to download and install the free Microsoft Compatibility Pack:
- Log on to your computer, ensure that you have administrative rights.
- Ensure your system is up to date with all Windows updates and service packs.
- Visit the following link to download and save the Microsoft compatibility pack: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941b3470-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466&displaylang=en
