Making Office 2007 Documents Compatible with Older Versions of Microsoft Office
Microsoft Office 2007 is installed on all First-Year students' Dell program laptops, and will be available to the rest of campus later this semester. Until MS Office 2007 is installed on all campus computers, users with the older versions (2003 and 2004) will not be able to read Office 2007 documents unless they are "back-saved," which means saved in the older format. If you use MS Office 2007 you can utilize the "Save As" option to back-save, for example, a Word 2007 or Excel 2007 file in the older format (e.g., "Word 97-2003 Document"). This will enable users who have not yet been upgraded to Office 2007 to open and read your documents.
