Hi all,

Since Brian wrote, we have spoken on the phone.  The link is
indeed correct.

The page does indeed recommend that you bring your version
of Office up to date, which may well be quite a large
download in itself.

George.

Dear George and list:

I followed your tiny url for the 27 MB download to let Word,
Powerpoint and Excel 2000, 2003 etc deal with Word, Excel
and
Powerpoint 2007 format files and found myself on the Office
2007
service pack 1 tab.

Seems it is over 218 MB in size and the system requirements
indicate it is for Office 2007.

Is this the same download you are thinking of?  It seems to
be
for Office 2007, not XP, 2000 and 2003.

Thanks.

Brian

I've been getting quite a few panic calls lately from users
of
Word 2003 or earlier, who have been sent Word 2007 files,
and of
course are unable to read them.

Please be aware that Microsoft have released the "Microsoft
Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
2007 File Formats".  This allows you to open, edit and save
Office 2007 files using Office 2000, Office XP and Office
2003.

It is a 27 megabyte download, but works extremely well.

The download can be obtained by using the following Tiny
URL:

Or if you prefer the full URL, which will undoubtedly wrap
over
two lines, is:
