Not Microsoft Word 2007 compatible?
I am sure that some of the companies out there are running the new Windows Vista. Since those computers have changed into the new OS, most likely they’ve upgrade their Microsoft Word from 2003 version to the 2007 version. If you haven’t tried the new version yet, it is pretty much the same thing but more dressed up. They’ve added tabs for different functionality that you might use so they are bundle with different toolbars on the top, other then that, I don’t see a huge difference. One of the things right now also is that a lot of the companies have not upgraded to MS Word 2007. For some companies that needed to communicate with others that are already upgraded can cause a problem.
The new MS Word document is now saved in a different extension then the previous versions; it is now saved as “.docx” instead of “.doc”. The old version has a problem in reading these documents and claim that it cannot be read. I’ve found that after a bit of research that all you need to do is just keep your Micrsoft Office up-to-date. There is a compatibility pack that you have to install from the official Microsoft website in order for you to read the new format. When I was looking all of this up, I’ve realize there are some websites out there that are charging people to change the “.docx” format to “.doc”. If you can update your Office with the compatibility pack, why do you need to use those other websites? I’ll never know for sure why…
