If you are asking the question i am thinking of then i can help you for sure.
First of all what i think your referring to is that the two computers (XP and Vista) have different versions of word installed upon them right? If this is the case the XP will most likely have 2003 word and the Vista a 2007 word.
If you make any document first on the XP and email or usb and save it over to the vista. Windows 2007 word will be able to open it no worries even though it is a 2003 document.
But if it's the other way around that's a different story! In that case when saving your file from the 2007 click on save as when saving then on the drop down list underneath where you type your document name choose the option that says "save as 2003 document" or something on those lines (sorry doing this off memory) then you save it and when it goes to the XP computer it should be able to be opened no worries. The only reason it would is because you might have done the process wrong.
Hope this helps and if it does.. I'm glad to help

It depends upon what you mean by "Vista Document." The operating system itself does not open documents. It runs programs that open documents. If the program is compatible on both OS's, then you should have no problems. Example, Word 2003 will run on both XP and Vista. If you save a file as .doc in XP, you can move it to your Vista machine, open Word 2003, and open your file.
