D Doug Robbins - Word MVP Apr 6, 2007 #2 There is a compatibility pack that you can download from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...70-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466&displaylang=en But a docm file contains macros, and you may want to get the person who sent it to you to send you a file without the macros. IMHO, it's a bit irresponsible of them to send such a file when they could easily have sent it in Word 97-2003 format. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP

C CyberTaz Apr 6, 2007 #3 That is a Word 2007 XML-based format for a doc that is Macro-enabled. Short, straight answer, No, Word 2003 or earlier *cannot* open the file.
