Will an XP word document open in vista?

What you should be asking here is whether an Office 2003 Word document will open in Office 2007 Word. ... and the answer is yes. If you save it in 2007 without saving it with backwards compatibility, you won't be able to open it again in the older program though. The operating systems can run either one... the 2003 or 2007 versions, so the XP-Vista question isn't quite as accurate.


Can one open a Microsoft Word 2007 document in Microsoft Word 2000?

No. You would need a converter and that may not even work for 2000, although it will for 2003. The thing to do is do a Save As in Word 2007, and save the file in an earlier version. Then you can open it. If it is not your file get the person who you got it from to do that.

Why is Word 2003 doc changing to XML when seen by another computer?

Word 2007 for Windows and 2008 for the Mac default to Open Source XML (.docx) as their file format. When you open an older (legacy) document from 2003 in a newer version of Word, the software automatically turns compatibility on and converts as many parts of the document as possible to the current format. Because Word 2003 used a Microsoft proprietary type of XML and 2007 uses Open Source XML, you can run into problems in the translation. Try solving the problem by changing the Output and Sharing > Compatibility setting in your Word 2007 Preferences to "2000-2004 and X," and see if that helps.
