Office 2007 Made Compatible

Have you recently made the switch to Microsoft Office 2007? Like myself, many Office users have or are in the process of switching over from Office 2003 (or earlier) to the newer Office 2007. Though the new program formats took a little time for me to learn how to navigate, the functionality of Office 2007 has actually proven much more user friendly then previous versions of Office. Despite being user friendly to the programs direct users, many have felt the difficulties of unsuccessfully sending Office 2007 documents to co-workers and/or friends who are still using earlier versions of Office. However this problem can be easily solved. Simply clicking on the circular Office Button in the left hand corner of the navigation tool bar; then click Save or Save As option; once you are in the Save As pop-up menu, direct yourself to the drop down option labeled Save As Type at the very bottom of the pop-up box; click the Save As Type drop down option and pick Word 97-2003 Document. This will save your Office 2007 document as a document that can be opened with Office versions 1997 or 2003. Problem solved!

However if you are on the other end of this, and you are currently using older versions of Office and you have had trouble opening files sent to you in Office 2007; you too have options. You can either update your system and buy the new Microsoft Office 2007 Software, or you can download the Microsoft Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats off of Microsoft’s website. This free download allows users of older versions of Office to open files sent to them from programs offered by Office 2007. Again, problem solved!
