Microsoft has released a compatibility pack for Office 2007! This will allow your older version of Word, Excel and Power Point to open the docx, xlsx and pptx files. These are the files people keep sending us that we can’t open. Install this update and they can be opened on a PC (nothing yet for Mac’s) in a read only format. They can then be saved in a standard office format.
