Office Compatibility Pack for 2007 File Formats (Beta 2)
I've been dogfooding Microsoft 2007 Office System for more than two months, since beta 1. By now I am used to do a Save As "Word 97-2003" (eg; Word document) to save the document in another format in order to let my Office 2003 colleagues open my newly created Office 2007 documents. With the announcement of the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats (Beta 2) last week this practice is now becoming history.
By updating Microsoft Office XP and Office 2003 with the Compatibility Pack (Beta 2), you can create new documents, open and edit documents, and save documents using the following 2007 Microsoft Office system file formats:
Word
| • |
.docx—Microsoft Office Word 2007 document |
| • |
.docm—Microsoft Office Word 2007 macro-enabled document |
PowerPoint
| • |
