[gui-talk] Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 Question!!!

[Coonce, David B]

I am using Office 2007 here at work. I know it will read my old documents created with Office 2003. My guess is that it would read documents from older versions as well, but I'm not sure. The real problem is when you try to go the other way. IN other words, you can't read documents with the .docx extension created with Office 2007 using earlier versions of Word, unless you get a plug-in.

Importance: High

Hello Everyone,

J and R has Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007  for $79.00 as a special
price.

They state that this is the same package as the regular MS Office 2007.

I have heard in the past that a student version can only be used 2 time. Is
this true?

I have also heard that MS Office 2007 can not read older documents created
by previous version of Office such as my 2000 version.

Can someone give me some details about the above questions?

If anyone knows of a place that I can buy a regular version of MS Office
2003 at a low price that would be good since that version works well.

I am using MS Office 2000 professional and I though that the upgrade to a
later version will have many improvements from my 2000 version.

Thanks for any info.

From, Tom Blume
