Word 2000 files can be opened in Word 2007 (same for Excel)
So that is not the problem
Have you activated Office?
Can you take a file to another computer and do a virus check then try to
open it?
best wishes

I recently downloaded Microsoft Office 2007 over an existing 2000. It did
not convert my files?? The message it gives me is there is a virus, but I
don't believe that's true. I think it is a compatibility issue. How can
I
get my files back? The two programs I checked was Word and Excell. Help
please.
