Word 2002/2003 Compatability

[Guest]

At home I work with Word 2003. At work, the LAN uses 2002. I need to be
able to work with documents in both formats. Are they compatible or will I
have problems?

There is almost no feature difference between Word 2002 and 2003--that is,
nothing that would cause a change in the layout or appearance of the
document, only changes in the way you work with the document. The only thing
new in 2003 I can think of that would definitely not be supported in Word
2002 is IRM (one type of document protection). The file format is the same.
You should have no problem.
