Opening ealier MSOffice version files

[AlexW]

I am using MSOffice 2007 professional and would like to open some files from

earlier MSOffice versions (1997, 2000). Is there a package or download that

can assist with this?

Office 2007 should be able to open both Office 2000 and 97 files. What

issue are you having?



Not knowing exactly which program created the files there are three KB

articles that may assist you.
