I can create a Word or excel file on my laptop (which is running Vista and
Office 2007) and can re-open it and read it on my laptop. However, if I
attach it to an email, I can't open it on a desktop running XP/Office 2003.
The converse is true too -- on my laptop, I can't open documents created on
XP either and sent to myself via email attachment. The error message I'm
getting is something about "locked by another user" and can only open a
read-only copy, but even when I try to open a read-only version, this is the
error message that pops up:
"Word experienced an error trying to open the file. Try these suggestions:
* Check the file permissions for the document or drive.
* Make sure there is sufficient free memory and disk space.
* Open the file with Text Recovery converter."
Now, it actually WON'T open the file with Text Recovery converter. Also, if
I look at the properties of my folders, the "Read-Only" box is shadowed. If
I UNcheck that box and try to "apply" the new settings, it seems to take --
but when I open it again, there it is shadowed again.
