Hi :) Great idea and that is certainly the way MS would like it but sadly MS Office 2010 documents often seem to go a little wrong in MS Office 2007 and vice-versa. Earlier versions of MS Office can't read/write the format used by MS Office 2010 or 2007 at all without installing an extra patch. It's not just a case of using MS Office but of using the 'right' version too. It helps push people into buying the latest one and when the newer one comes out hesitate a little before everyone else gets it too. Smart. Regards from Tom :)
All the facts are pointed out as well, like the incompatibility of some versions of MSO. Of course that is how they make their money, vendor lock-in. Which is also covered in the replies.
