Converting 2007 docs

Apparently MS Word 2007 doesn't like older versions. An option arises to
download a compatability pack. However, my experience with new MS programs
leaves me leary of downloading anything new. Especially since I'm on a
network!

Has anyone had any experience with the compatability program? Any problems?
 
The Compatibility Pack is for Office 2000 - 2003, so people running earlier
versions of Office can open the new Office 2007 file types.

Word 2007 has no problem opening documents created by Word 6 through Word
2003. The only problems I've encountered were with opening files created by
Word PM (for OS/2).

Word 2007 also can save files in Word 97-2003 format -- and those files can
be opened by users of those versions of Word, without need to install any
kind of compatibility pack. You can even tell Word 2007 to save in Word
97-2003 format by default.
