Are Microsoft Office 2007 documents acceptable as attachments to grant application packages submitted to Grants.gov?
Yes, while using the compatible version of Adobe Reader, Microsoft Office 2007 files can be used for attachments. Please refer to the instructions on the application package to ensure agency compatibility of Microsoft Office 2007 attachments. While using the PureEdge viewer, the 2007 version of Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) as a default saves documents in a new format that is NOT compatible with Grants.gov. Grants.gov cannot process Microsoft Office 2007 documents saved in the new format with the extensions of (“.DOCX”, “.XLSX”, “.PPTX”) at this time. When submitting attachments created with Microsoft Office applications to Grants.gov, please ensure that attachments are saved using “Save As” and select the “97-2003” format.
