He _will_ have to upgrade. No ifs, ands, or buts,.
MSO97 can not correctly read files created by MSO98, MSOXP, MSO2003.
There are some _major_ differences in the file formt between MSO97, and MSOXP.
I'm curious then why the OOo "Open" and "Save As" dialogs lists Word 97/2000/XP as one format. Whatever differences there are can't be *that* major.
MSO users from 97 on up can interact with MSO user from 97 on up backwards and forwards without any add-ons or special tools....
So long as they have the same version of MSO as the document was created on.
Or newer, or somewhere in the 97/2000/XP range.
