I have a problem with Word documents being emailed to me by a friend who is running windows Vista. I'm running XP & any word documents that i receive are unable to be opened/recognised. Anyone else had this problem & found a solution ?
TIA
It's probably more likely to be the versions of Word you are both using.
If one of you is using Office 2007 and the other has an older version, the one with 2007 will need to install the Office Compatibility pack (download from MS Office site).
Yes, I'd have thought it'd be Office 2007 on Vista and 2003 on your XP. After fiddling they aren't completely incompatible, you can eve run 2007 on XP.
Thanks for the help guys, but still no nearer.
I've downloaded the Office Compatibility pack & installed, but that didn't work.
The files are *.wps
i already have open office installed & that cant open the files either
