I am a novice. I have MS Word, but do not know what version. How can I tell what version I have?

Someone sent me an email attachment in Word, but when I opened it I see is the number of pages of stuff that's just a bunch of symbols, etc.  I think that the problem may be due to different versions of Word?  The person who sent me says it uses Word 2007 version.  My PC was purchased from Dell in May 2008, so I think that my version would be similar, but I don't know how to say.  Can anyone help?

Open Word, click Help > about Microsoft Word
The version, including service pack is first online

Word 2007 uses a different format for documents from previous versions of word.  To distinguish the documents in format Word 2007 and earlier versions, Word 2007 saves the documents with an extension rather than the familiar doc extension docx.

If you have Word 2003 (or earlier version), install the Office Compatibility Pack, which allows you to open, edit and save files created by versions of Word, Excel, and Powerpoint 2007.  For more details, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/924074

Alternatively, the person who sent you the document could use his Word 2007 to "save under" document format "Word 97/2003"(je n'ai pas Word 2007 ouvrir dès maintenant, si l'expression peut être légèrement différente), and if it does that you could deal with him directly. "."

  • my laptop is stolen; I have the serial number of my Photoshop Elements, but do not remember what version; I now have Wondows 8.1. How can I find out which version to download and install?

    Sorry... title says it all. I had a Photoshop Elements 3.0 on the disc and have subsequently downloaded updates and was running an updated version on my laptop stolen with Windows 7.

    My account shows my serial number of Photoshop but not the version number which I forgot. I guess I can now re-download the version I've had - updated to run on Windows 8.1 but do not know which version to download.

    Contact Customer Support by chat or phone and they should be able to look at the history of your purchases.  You might even find it yourself if search you the different links in your account.

    Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

    You must order a set of recovery disc for the computer from the manufacturer - this will install the appropriate drivers for your system automatically, as well as packaged applications.

    If you have not formatted the disk (or replaced) existing partition recovery may still be present - see your manual for details.

    It is possible to download Vista - see here for more details - http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/57-windows-vista-direct-download-links -, but note that it is not a simple process!

  • How can I tell what version number of Medica Player I have in my PC

    How can I tell what version number of Medica Player I have in my PC.  My PC is configured to update automatically.  When I clicked on the 'ownership' of my Windows Media Player ted, it was created on 11 August 2011.  This means that I have the latest version (#12?) in my PC?

    Hi eaumng,

    Launch windows media player, right-click on an empty space in the lower right of the media player, hover over or select help and 'media player' and that should bring up a page on the drive media of which version you are running. If you OS is xp sp3, you probably #11 is installed, and it is the most updated for XP version.

  • I have a Robin Didital DPF - 710 photo frame, but there was not a usb port, how can I transfer photos from comp to a memory card

    I HAVE A DIGITAL ROBIN PHOTO FRAME DPF-710 FOR WHICH THE CARD MEMORY IS 1.0 GB, THE PROBLEM IS I WOULD ADD MORE PHOTOS ON THE CARD BUT DO NOT KNOW HOW TO IT AS THE IMAGE HAS NO USB PORT AND I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE PICTURES ON MY COMPUTER TO THE MEMORY CARD, COULD YOU PLEASE ME TELL HOW.

    I guess just that your computer has a media player?

    (If no drive media... Connect the device to your PC
    via USB cable and turn on... Reach... Start / computer...
    your camera must be listed with a drive letter.)

    If you go to... Start / computer... media player should
    be recognized as one or more removable disks... it can
    have several drive letters.

    Removable disk (e :))
    Removable drive (g)
    Removable disk (h :))

    Left click the drive letters... When you identify the drive
    Letter for the media player... (it will be the one making
    does not launch a dialog box that says: "Please insert a disk".
    in the drive? ») ...

    Follow these steps...

    Navigate to the folder in which the photos are... Open it and
    Reach... Edition/select all... right click the selected (highlighted)
    Group and from the menu choose... Send to / removable
    Disk?... Or... left, click on a folder and do the same thing.

    Only a limited number of files can be copied to the root
    Directory of the card... if you transfer lots of photos...
    they must be in one or more folders. If you receive one
    error that says: "cannot copy xxxx (xxxx): the directory '.
    the file cannot be created. » .. There's too many files in
    the root directory of the memory card.

    FWIW... the camera may not recognize the photos if they
    have been published in some way, but they will always be on the
    memory card for use by other means.
