Techtips Vol1 – Office 2007 Converter Pack
Do you have an older version of Microsoft Office, i.e. Not Office 2007. Have trouble opening Word or Excel Documents from friends or coworkers. Do those documents end in .docx or .xlsx?
If so, it means they were created with Office 2007 or Mac Office 2008. In order to view these documents in Office 2003 or Office XP, you will need the converter pack. It is better to upgrade your computer to Office 2007, though it is a dramatic change in user interface. In the meantime install the converter pack and work away.
