Word files in XP Office on Vista

**Anilrgowda** · 31-Jul-2007, 03:16 AM

If I install Windows XP onto a Vista laptop, are there any issues opening word files. Someone at the store said this was the case

According to this:
Windows Vista RTM Software Compatibility List - IeXwiki

It is supported - but you will need SP3...

I am guessing that you mean that opening files created with Office 2007 you are not able to open them in [COLOR=#3676a2! important][COLOR=#3676a2! important]Office [COLOR=#3676a2! important]XP[/color][/color][/color].

To view and read the files that you have created in Word and [COLOR=#3676a2! important][COLOR=#3676a2! important]Excel[/color][/color] with Office 2007 you will need to [COLOR=#3676a2! important][COLOR=#3676a2! important]download[/color][/color] and install the Word and Excel viewers so you will be able to read them with Office XP Word and Excel

Word Viewer and Excel Viewer are available from the Office Download center

Microsoft's primary stated objective with Windows Vista, however, has been to improve the state of security in the Windows operating system.
