Document Type MSO 2007?

[biosid]

Something I noticed today. In my folder list view for my, excel, PP, and
word, they are all shown as 97-2003 worksheets, documents, presentations. So
I downloaded the compatibility program and read some tutorials on this.

I created all these documents in MSO 2007. When I try to change them back
to 07 it converts but will not open so I changed it back.

Is this a default of the compatibility program? I am unable to create a
word doc in 2007 or any of the MSO programs in 07. Ideas? Thanks B

Hi Jan,

I ran the detect and repair twice during the period I was attempting to
discover what was wrong. Nothing tuned up of was logged from either of those
two sessions.

I then went through this App errors and read in one instance where someone
w/MSO, 07 had loaded the compatibility program and it helped?

I did unload it and run detect and repair again today to no avail. I still
get the error messages when loading excel and or a different one when
attempting to run set up to uninstall. Shane suggested a link to do a manual
uninstall but I choose not to do that yet, I am a little weary of performing
that function.

Jan, this is why I installed the compatibility pack, see dialog from previous
post below between JW and Shane D.


Hi,

Have you installed the compatibility pack:

This is a free download from Microsoft.

Why would excel in office 2007 have trouble opening a 1997-2003 .xls document?
