Template saving for different versions

[Guest]

I made several templates in Office (word) 2000 btu when I loaded the templates on my wifes computer, she has Office 97, the template layouts do not line up now. Alll the form fileds and everything else that I put in are way out of line. I re-checked them on my computerr and they line up and work great. On her version of Word they are not lining up. Is there a way to save the template so that they will work on office 97? Or do I have to rebuild each template on that version

I spent hours making these templates and do not want to start all over on them if I dont have to. Any help at all would be appreciated. There are no macro's just form fields and a back ground image I inserted for the form. scanned in image of a balnk form then put in the fields so that the information can be typed in and printed out

again than you for any help at all

J.W.
