The only difference between the office 2003 and 2007 is the the layout, and the organized tools that a user can use...office 2007 is a user's friendly office productivity tool... and its performances much larger than 2003.. So it makes the difference in the saving formats too.. But I think u can open 2003 in 2007 but NOT 2007 in 2003

Hello,
Both are possible. If you want to open Word's file or Excel's files 2003 with Word or Excel 2007, it's necessary to create a file association. And to the contrary, simply download the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2007 at Microsoft website.

I used to have Word 2000.  I upgraded to Office 2007, but then I wasn't able to open any word documents, no matter if they were old or new.  I could open MS Word and then open the file, but I wasn't able to double click on the file to open that particular document.  I checked file associations - Word wasn't even an option (though clearly it was there and I could navigate to it).  I had tried all sorts of hotfixes and updates and converters and other sorts of potential fixes.  Uninstall/reinstall didn't work.  Running the program repair utility (via control panel) also didn't work.  I read that it could be a registry file, but wasn't able to figure out which one and the ones I found online for other issues did nothing for this.

I did finally get the fix after calling Microsoft and having an unusually easy and quick chat with them.  It WAS a registry file for the file associations for .doc and .docx files.  If you navigate through your registry and go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT - you will see a bunch of file extensions.  I deleted the .doc and .docx entries.  At this point, you can do 2 things.  1) run the Office repair utility through the control panel in "Programs and Features" (if you're on Vista, otherwise it should be the traditional Add/Remove Programs section); or 2) copy those registry keys from any other machine that's working properly with the version of Word/Office you're using.

Anyway - that's what worked for me if this sounds like the issue you're having.
