And you, Mr. Tarantula, have obviously not done all of your research.

You have also made a false claim, as far as I can tell. Office 2007 file formats may be backwards compatible in 2003 and past that, but there is an exception. You're assuming that Office 2003 and past that only came in a Windows version.

I have Office 2003, and it is running on my mac. I have downloaded all of the updates, and I cannot resolve the issue.

Your information has me more irritated than ever, now that I know that Microsoft has fixed the problem for "its" audience. Quite the monopoly they continue to be able to legally expand exponentially each day.

So do you have any information that would help me instead of irritate me, because I found the first guy's post rather comforting before I read yours? Seriously though.

You obviously did not do your research. Office 2007 file formats are backwards compatible in 2003 and past that. You should have gotten a notification saying to download a plug-in,in the older version of Office. If not then update notifications must be turned off in it. If so go to the Microsoft website and download the plug-in for it.

As much as I understand you have 11 years of experience in the media field and that mistakes happen. Please do your research before posting false information. And always double check it by asking on forums and researching your problem online.

Please update your post on this!
