Office 2007 uses a newer file format than Office 2003. For example, instead of .doc, a file from Word 2007 will be in the .docx format, something Office 2003 doesn't understand.

.doc files would automatically open with office 2007 if you want to save an office 2007 file as .doc, while saving choose the format as Outlook office 2003 format and it would save your file as .doc instead of the .docx that office 2007 gives
