File Formats

Each kind of media has several formats associated with it, each format with its own properties and extension. The various formats are optimized for the kind of data they store as well as the media on which they are created and stored. Popular multimedia formats are .mp3 (MPEG-Layer 3) for music files, .avi (Audio Video Interface) for videos, and .jpg (JPEG) for images."

What is the purpose of the Compatibility Checker and saving in a backwards-compatible file format?

It has to do with who will be using your files and what versions of the software they have. Virtually all major software packages, including Microsoft Office, are backward-compatible, which means that you can work with files that were saved in older versions of the software. However, you often cannot open files saved in newer software versions if you are using an older version. For example, in Excel 2007, in addition to the normal Save function, you also have the option of saving your workbook as an Excel 97-2003 file. Both the normal save and the 97-2003 save have their drawbacks. If you save your file normally, you are limiting the range of your audience, because people using older versions of Excel won't be able to open it. If you save it as a 97-2003 version, you are limiting what functions you can use to make the file look and behave the way you want. Obviously, every new software version has more "bells and whistles" than the previous version. By saving as a 97-2003 version, you are limiting yourself to only the functions that were available in those older software versions. When using a newer Excel version and saving your workbook as an older format, the Compatibility Checker will let you know what characteristics of your workbook, if any, are not compatible with the version in which you are trying to save it. Of course, if your file is only for your personal use, you need not concern yourself with the 97-2003 save option. BTW, you can tell which Excel files are compatible with Excel 97 etc. by the file extension. Files saved in newer Excel versions and that are not compatible with the older versions have four-letter extensions instead of three-letter. For example, for regular Excel files (not templates, no macros, etc.), older versions have the extension .xls, and newer versions have the extension .xlsx.

This is going to depend on the type of file that you are trying to open. The file extension is created depending on the software (and version) that was used. For example, if you use an older version of Microsoft Word to save a document, it has a .doc extension. If you use a newer version such as 2007, it will save the files with a .docx extension. You would need to have the correct software to open the file, but in many cases, Microsoft may make a viewer that you can download (depending on the file of course)
