Because documents created in Office 2007's new default file format may not be compatible with other versions, IT recommends the following 2 workarounds:
1. Change Default -- When working in Office 2007, change your default file format to save your documents in the previous Office 2003 format to ensure maximum compatibility.
2. Download Patch -- Microsoft has a download that allows you to open and edit Office 2007 documents in previous versions of Office for Windows. To download, go to the Microsoft download site listed below.
