How do I open an Office 2007 document in an older version of Microsoft Office?
Office 2007 now saves documents in a different format than previous versions of Office. Windows Office users should see the Open a Word 2007 document in an earlier version of Word web page for information on downloading a Compatibility Pack. This Compatibility Pack will also allow other Office 2007 documents such as an Excel spreadsheet to be opened. For technical details, see this web page. Macintosh Office users can download a converter program to open Office 2007 documents.
