URGENT: Need a trial version of Microsoft word 2003....?

Question

I need to get the 2003 version of Microsoft Word. All of my college professor says they cannot open up 2007 word documents yet. I have the 2007 word, but i don't know of a way to make it so they can read it. If anyone knows of any place I can dowload or a way to convert from 2007 to 2003, I would be VERY grateful! I will eventually be buying the version once I get my GI BIll to come throuhg. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

No just save your files in the .DOC format instead of .Docx; then your professors will be able to read it.

When you do File>Save (or "save as"), there is an option to change the format. The .doc format can be read in both MS office 2003 and 2007.

Answer 2

If you use Open Office (which is free) then your professor will be able to read them fine. I would suggest that as it is not a trial and you can use it as long as you want. It is also completely legal.  

Answer 3

There should be a trial on the microsoft website somewhere.

But there is also a compatibility add-on for word 2003 that allows you to read and open documents that were saved in 2007 - it's int eh resourced below.

I hope it helps!

Answer 4

Try this:

Open your documnet in word 2007 and then Use Save As.. option from file menu in ur word 2007 and select Save As TYPE "Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc)". By default the option "Word Document(docx).

This will make your document compatible with Word 2003.
