How do I open a Microsoft Office 2007 file using a Mac?
If you use the “Office Open XML Converter,” it will allow you to convert Office 2007 files to a format that is compatible with Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac and with older versions of Microsoft Office for Mac. You can choose to convert and open one file, or convert a large number of files at a time. • Go to Microsoft Downloads, http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx • Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select Additional Tools. • Select one of the following converters based on the Office version you are using: • Office 2008 – Select Open XML File Format Coverter for Mac 1.1.3 • Office 2004 – Select Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.1 • The download instructions and download versions will display. Click English to download the converter. • When you have an Office 2007 document saved, double-click on the document to open it. This action will cause the converter to run. • Drag the Word 2007 document into the top window of the converter that says, “Drag document here.” •
