Can you take a file from 2003 to 2000?
I have office 2003 at home. Can I take Excel/Word files from my office pc
(office 2000), work on them at home and then go back to the office 2000 at work and bring them up? |

There hasn't been any real change in the basic Excel and Word document formats between those versions. (Unlike Access.) The main things you have to be careful of a (a) Don't use any of the more advanced VBA methods which relate to 2002 onwards if you're writing macros; and (b) If password protecting, stay with a password protection type that will work with 2000. (I can't remember whether all of 2003's are supported in 2000, but just play it safe.) --------------------------------------------------------- Hank Scorpio scorpionet who hates spam is at iprimus.com.au (You know what to do.) * Please keep all replies in this Newsgroup.
