I have received an attachment which the sender says is a word 2007 document.
It has a ".docx" extension. My word 2003 starts a File Conversion app but I can't find a setting that makes the document readable. What should the sender do to give me a document that is readable by Word 2003 without file conversion issues? |

If you haven't already done so, you should download and install
the the free Office 2007 compatibility pack from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...3-c6bb74cd1466 ..

Although you really should install the converter pack, you could ask the
sender to save the document as 'Word 97-2003 Document' which (s)he can find in the 'Save As' menu. Yves "Stephen Ford" wrote in message ...

I tried it , works great, but also downloaded NativeWindsDocx2Rtf ver 3.8 from http://www.nativewindsofmontana.com it will also run on Win98 OS |

Thanks for confirming this feature is available. I quessed it should be. I
don't think the sender is particularly PC literate so when I suggested they look for the option before posting this I didn't get coherent response. The 2007 compatibity pack has worked fine.
