Office 2007 / 2003 compatibility problem
 

I have just finished using Office 2007 beta 2 and uninstalled it. Gone back
to my Office 2003 only to find I cannot open Excel or Word docs created with
Office 2007 beta 2. Not even with the Compatibilty Pack installed. Help? Joe

reinstall the beta and save the files as earlier excel versions or copy and
paste if the worst comes to the worst.

Thanks for your reply Martin

Sadly, I cannot re-install the beta 2 version as it now no longer exists and
I cannot download a trial copy of Office 2007 as I keep getting the message
"Sorry this site is temporarily unavailable".

Any other ideas?

Joe

Buy Office 2007?

Burn the documents to CD, take the CD to a friend who has Office 2007 and
convert?

Thanks Dave

I hadn't thought of doing that.

If I can't find another way at least I now know I haven't lost the files
forever.
