Office 97 & 2007 compatability?

Question

I have office 97 on my home computer and office 2007 on my work computer. Are there going to be any compatibility issues if I to open any of the files from either computer?

Answer 1

you can set office 2007 to default save in the older format click on the button on top right and choose the options.



ALternately just do a save as and choose the format.

Answer 2

Yes...there are compatibilty issues



2007 files are different with certain office programs...



U can open 97 files with 2007, but not 2007 files with 97..i believe....word files are the same of course (theyre compatible, and i think powerpoint is too), Access is different i believe....just check their website

Answer 3

yes there are problems



I would install on the 97 computer Open Office



http://www.openoffice.org



so the 97 computer can read, edit and save in the 2007 format

Answer 4

Yea there definatly will



But I know that you can save files from office 07 to older versions : file - save as - *which ever version*



Going from 97 to 07 might be a problem. Ive never seen/done it but im sure it will be able to read if you can save files to 97

Answer 5

in the past you pass to the workplace, save the records as a be conscious 2002 or 2003 record. Older variations of MS workplace can no longer examine the extra present day report formats that workplace 2007 creates. comparable with Powerpoint, Visio etc.

Answer 6

they're right. When you save the Word Document on 07, click on SAVE AS. Then click word 97-2003 document. It's quite simple. I really hope that helped...
