Typically a newer version of Word will open a document created with an older version. The other side of the coin is that if they create or convert a document to a newer version then you will have to install the compatibility pack.
The link you supplied applies to her system I have no suggestion for the PDF file editing -Paul. From: C.E. Gene Connor [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 14, 2011 10:33 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Office help My "beauty-full & loving " wife does a lot of free doc's for low income people like contracts,divorce's,child support & custody . Question #1 We use office pro 2003 suit. The problem is when they take them to a place for them to get filled in! They say they can't open them up in a newer version of word? I did a search for answers and didn't quite understand how to fix this for her and them. I did however find this http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en Is this fix suppose to be installed on the newer machine "ones that fill them in"or on her system? Like I said it is the wifes system and I don't want to screw it up! since most of your kids know more about office then I do. Qusetion # 2 Some of the times she gets sent back from a place a pdf file. I have installed foxit for her. for can't see buying a copy of adobe just to be able to edit & design pdf's for whatever the case may be. What do you all recommend as a free or low priced pdf editor. Side note: the comment about my wife. Yes, I'm know for openly stating I worship the ground she walks on. And still can't figure out how she puts up with my a$$holeism's ways etc. -- Gene C. Misc.
