Converting documents on Word 2007 to Word 2003

Hi Karen,

You can still use your Microsoft 2003 to open files that are in a newer version. Here are some simple steps to follow:

1. Go to the folder where your document is saved. Right-click on the document then choose "Open With".

2. Choose the program, Microsoft Word, to open the file.

3. You can also choose the default program to open the file by again choosing the document, right-click then choose Properties. Choose Microsoft Word as your default program by clicking on the "Change" button.

4. When you are able to open the files, just save them using the "Save As" option and save them to your personal folder so you can always open them with your Microsoft 2003 program.

If you are thinking of upgrading your Microsoft 2003, you can actually download free software. However, if you're more comfortable using the 2003 version then you can keep it that way. The 2010 version has a different interface that may be confusing at times, especially the menu bars, unless you know the keyboard shortcuts of course.

This is how the new Microsoft Word looks like:
