Which is why I now do all reports on OO, despite having a paid for version of Office Basic 2007.

Like he said - Word just couldn't get a brochure layout right for me but OO did a perfect job. OO also allows you to create PDFs from your documents.

Back to the topic of the post - for those who want to be able to read Office 2007 docx etc files in earlier versions of Office there is a Viewer and compatibility pack downloadable from Microsoft's web site. I had to use them today.

Here Download details: Word Viewer
