Opening problem of MS Word 97 file with MS Word 2007

Asked By Baribd 0 points N/A Posted on - 09/25/2011

I received an important document through e-mail which is created by Microsoft Word 2007 but I have a Microsoft Word 97 so I cannot open it.

Is there any system I can use so that I can open it using Microsoft Word 97?

Sorry to say but you cannot open this file in Office 97 as there is a difference between the file formats of Office 07 and 97. A document saved in Word 07 can’t be viewed in Word 97.

To open such a document in Word 97 do the following:

1. Go to the top menu, click on File and select save as.

2. Now here is a drop down menu showing Save as Type. Select Word document 97-03 and save file. Now this file can be viewed in Word 97.

See the attached image.
