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.

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.

If your computer had Windows XP on it and you upgraded to Vista, I heard you could call Microsoft and tell them how displeased you were with Vista and wish to downgrade back to XP.
