Opening Word 2002 documents in Mac with Office 08 installed

[jgv2000]

I copied my Word documents across from my old PC to my new iMac. The iMac is
fitted with Office 08, and I assumed they would open. But the Word documents
were written and saved inside Word 2002 and they do not open. Can anyone help
with this exasperating problem? JGV

Hi JGV,

They should still open in Word:mac 2008, (depending in part on any graphic content types) but you may want to use the link below to
also post this in the Word:mac discussion group.
