Unable to View Word 2000 Document with Word 2002

my receptionist created a document using word 2000 - I use
Word 2002. This is a calendar she created to keep track
of everyone's vacation schedule throughout the company and
protected the document to track changes.

When I opened the document (using word 2002), each month
overlapped the previous (meaning, October was overlapping
September and November was a top October) - making it look
like the entire document merged - and viewed as a one page
document. When she opens the file using word 2000, each
month is viewed as its own and on a sperate page for each
month.

I tried a custom install of Microsoft Word using my Office
XP install disk, but nothing seems to change. Any
suggestions.
 
Hi Kellie,

Hard to say, without knowing a bit more about how she set
this allup. Which VIEW are you looking at this document in?
Make sure you're using the same View as she does and see if
that changes anything?

I have some trouble imagining what, in Word 2000, would cause
this for a Word 2002 installation. Unless...

Both versions support allowing text to wrap around tables.
But they handle the tables a bit differently, by default. You
might try setting "Word 2000" in Tools/Options/Compatibility
(if it's not already selected) to see if that changes the
behavior.
