Best Answer

You need to save a file in the format that is compatible with the application using the file. The primary benefit is that the file opens in the application. The primary problem with saving a file in a non-compatible format is that you will not be able to open the file in the application.

Does reinstalling Windows mean you will lose the files on your hard drive?

You have system files and personal files on different drives. In this case you would only lose the files on the drives that you format. As long as you don't format the drive with your personal files on it you won't lose them.

What are the benefits of saving the file in different versions?

There are various reasons. Some people have different versions of the software, so may not be able to read some files sent to them. Different versions take up different amount of space, so saving in a version that uses less space can be helpful. Some facilities, such as macros, require you to use particular versions. Some computers have different operating systems, so files may need to be saved in certain versions if they are to be shared. Files can be shared between different types of software and may need to be in different versions to enable that to happen. So for these and other reasons, being able to save in different versions is useful.
