Why can't view Word 2007 in converter for XP ?

[lydiaF]

I just downloaded and installed the recommended service pack, and then the

converter so I could view Word 2007 document on my XP system. Now, I cannot

view ANY Word documents, even ones I used to be able to view, and when I try

to open one, all I get is the popup for SAVING these already-saved documents,

even if I use the "open with" option and select the converter as the program

to use. HELP !!

Not sure what you mean by "converter for XP".



If you do not have any version of Microsoft Word installed on

your computer, then you should download and install the free Word

2007 viewer from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3657ce88-7cfa-457a-9aec-f4f827f20cac

.. This free viewer will allow you to view and print Word 97-2007

files.



If you have Word 2000 (Office 2000), Word 2002 (Office XP), or

Word 2003 (Office 2003) installed on your computer, then you

should download and install the free Office 2007 compatibility

pack from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=941b3470-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466

.. This free compatibility pack will allow you to use your

existing older Office applications to open, edit, and print

Office 2007 files. You should not attempt use the converter pack

itself to open Office 2007 files.
