Office 2007 & File Compatibility
Office
2007 uses a new file format, XML, which cannot easily be read by
previous versions of Microsoft Office for Windows or Mac. When creating
documents in Office 2007, you need to be aware of how and where
you will be using these documents. If you plan on working on computers
that use different versions of Office, or if you are going to share
files with others (via email attachments, CDs, etc.), please read
the suggestions in this document for dealing with Office compatibility
issues.
The following scenarios are covered in this document:
* You create a document in Office 2007 and plan on sending it to
a user with a previous version of Office or taking
it to a computer that does not have Office 2007 installed.
* You create a document in Office 2007 and plan on using it in one
of the St. Joseph's College Computer Labs or Smart Classrooms
* You use an older version of Office (97, 2000, XP, or 2003) and
you want to open a file created using Office 2007's new file format
(.docx, .pptx, etc.)
* You are going to use Office 2007 in the classroom or lab to open
files created in previous versions of Office.
* You are an Office for the Mac user.
