Microsoft word urgent help!!!!!!!!!?

Question

I did my coursework at my dad's house on microsoft word 2007 and he doesnt have a printer so i saved it on my memory stick and right now i am trying to open it on my mom's computer but some of the files won't open, i'm guessing because she doesnt have microsoft word 2007. so what can i do? do i have to download it from the internet? please help!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Openoffice.org will solve those MSWord 2007 problems. careful how you save your new file either as HTML or Open Office Doc. Possibly .rtf, I think?

Personally I only use Open Office to reformat files that are only half a page wide to a full page wide and save all other doc in Word Pad/MSWORD 2002 .RTF.

If I can't open it I don't need or read it.

update:

It just occurred to me that my answer may be wrong, as I have not tried to actually do that with Open Office? Hummm sorry if that was the case.

Answer 2

You can download a free but trial version of MS office 2007 and install it without removing MS Office 2002,and after You finish Uninstall it and no one will know..

Here is the link.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info....

It's Enterprise edition,but You'll have even more than You need.

This is trial version.

Bye.

Answer 3

You can't - Word is a paid for programme.  Try downloading OpenOffice.org - you will be able to open and use your work, but be careful how you save it (file extensions).

Answer 4

What you need to do is download from Microsoft's site the compatibility program onto your mother's computer which will allow you to open 2007 in previous versions. However, for future, as not everyone has yet updated to 2007 it would be an idea to save your files in 2003 format which can be opened without problem on other computers and also your own.

Answer 5

You can download MS Office pack but you should have original Windows. Better e-mail the file to your dad and ask him to save it as older version. Then you'll be able to open it.

Answer 6

if you have office 2003 then use this add on

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...

this will make your version of office compatible

but if you dont have Word 2003 then im not sure

Answer 7

You could try looking for trial of word 2007 or you could download open office for free which is compatible with word, i think it's called openofficeorg, but just google it.

Answer 8

ur problem is that word 2007 saves files in docx format but earlier verisons of Microsoft word saves files to doc format

the easiest solution is to go to  www.Zamzar.com and convert the docx to doc to able to open it in office 2002

it is a great site to convert files, and it's easy to use, just choose ur file that u want to convert in Step 1 ( in ur case the word 2007 file docx) in step 2 choose the format that u want to convert to ( in ur case convert to doc) in Step 3 enter ur email so they send to u the converted file and in step 4 press convert, and that's it ur file can be opened now in office 2002

Good Luck
