Default Editing an Office 2003 Document using Office 2007

One of our employees has Office 2007 installed on his laptop and the rest of
us use office 2003. Whenever we e-mail him a document he states that he can
not edit that document. Can someone please help with this?

Default Editing an Office 2003 Document using Office 2007

He shouldn't have a problem opening Office 2003 documents. What error
message does he get when he tries to edit them?

Coming the other way, if he were to save them as Office 2007 documents,
rather than as Office 2003, you would then be unable to read them without
installing the Compatibility Pack.

Default Editing an Office 2003 Document using Office 2007

David,

Thank you for your help. However, he can open 2003 documents using 2007,
but he states that it will not allow him to make changes to them. Can he
make changes and save those changes?

Often, when you open an e-mail attachment, the file opens as read-
only. This results in receiver not being able to save changes, and it
is not version-dependent or limited to Excel.
