I don't have Office 07 - What do I do?

I had someone in a situation where they were needed to work on a Capstone proejct away from their "areas", and the computers inq uestion only had Office 03 on them.

Microsoft has a "compatibility pack" that can be downloaded and installed into Office 03 so that it can read and write Office 07 files (docx, xlsx, pptx, etc.). Granted, this information would not have helped the person in question this last weekend (because the computers wqere probably locked down, and they would not have been able to do any installs).

The Office 2007 Converters are located here.




There are also a TON of additional downloads/extensions/spare parts you can add to Office 03 AND 07.

Surf to Office.microsoft.com --> Downloads
Scroll down, click on the "Office 2003" or "Office 2007" tab.

You should see a bunch of stuff you can download. For Office 07,. I STRONGLY suggest you download the PDF thing - it will add the capability of saving your do as a PDF file, very handy when mailing something to someone who doesn't have Office, and you just want them to read it (not make changes).
