[dba-Tech] A question about Office 2007

Oh -- that's good to know then -- you can choose to save a 2007 file in a
previous format. I suppose the download is aimed at users who have a 2007
document, but not the software then?

All Office 2007 apps use a four-character file extension, and yes, these
cannot be opened in any previous version of Office. However, if you wish to
maintain compatibility, use File | Save As and then you get the
version-options.
