I can't read Outlook 2007 documents in Outlook 2003.

I have Outlook 2003 (11.8217.8221)SP3 with all the updates I can find.
Still, when I receive a message created in Outlook 2007 (or Office 2007), it
does not format correctly. That is, embedded pictures are not displayed, and
tables do not format correctly. Is there any way, short of upgrading to 2007
that I can read the 2007 messages??

If you're talking about Word documents and Excel spreadsheets, etc. then yes
Office 2007 is not backward compatible. Microsoft did release a compatibility
pack however that converts the files so you can open them:

Thanks for the reply. I have already downloaded the compatibility pack, with
no effect. My problem is reading email received thru Outlook, but composed
in word 2007.
