Larry, A Year or so ago, I ran across one of those 2007 files--I think it was a DOCX file. When I tried to open it it word, I got a dialogue box that basically said that I needed to download a Microsoft Office plugin to be able to view this type of file, which I did. The downloading and installation were very strait forward and now I can open and work with DOCX, XLSX, etc. files just as if they were created in an earlier version of Office.
By the way, Several years ago I neede3d to open a file created in WordPerfect 5.1 and was even able to get a plugin for that format.

Hi Folks, Regarding my earlier post, I spoke with the person who created the business plan and I was advised that the original had been created in Word 2007. Do any of you have experience with the Microsoft office file conversion program? The information I read on the MS web site indicates that it will allow 2007 word, power-point and excel documents to be read by office 2000, XP and 2003 as long as the appropriate critical updates and service packs are installed. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
