Cannot view or edit office 2007 documents

Asked By John Cox 210 points N/A Posted on - 06/14/2011

Hi all,

I currently have Microsoft Office 2003 installed on my desktop. I have been receiving emails with Microsoft Office 2007 attachments.

I know that I will not be able to view Microsoft Office 2007 documents with Microsoft Office 2003. I also know that there is a tool or an application that can be installed on your machine to allow you to be able to view and edit Microsoft Office 2007 documents even though you have Microsoft Office 2003.

I just do not know what the tool is called and where I can find it to download or purchase.

I would also like to know how to install . 

Thanks!

Cannot view or edit office 2007 documents

Hey ! Trick here,

In order for you to view, edit and even create office files for newer versions of Microsoft Office, you can download Microsoft’s own compatibility pack that they provide for users of office below Office 2007. 

Install the pack and with this you can use your Microsoft Office 2003 or lower to open Microsoft Office 2007 files or higher.

Microsoft though, recommends that you first install all high-priority updates for your windows before trying this compatibility pack.  

So make sure you first install that update in order to make sure the compatibility pack will work properly for you.

If you have to view a file from Word 2007, you can view the file by using the "Word Viewer 2003".

There are lots of solutions. I will provide you some easy method.

If you read your Office 2007 file, edit it and then save it, it means you can do all the work which you can do in Office 2007. You just download the software FileFormatConverters from the link given below and install it in your system. You don't need to install complete Office 2007. After installing it, double click on your file then you can read it and edit it.

Installation Procedure.

1) You download this software from this link

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/default.aspx

2) Its Size is 37.0 MB after download it you just double click

3) Accept Agreement and then click continue.

This is a very simple procedure.

I hope this solution is helpful for you.
