Vista and Word 2007

I have a new 64-bit Vista and Office system with word 2007.  When I e a Word Document, it cannot be opened on the other XP or other messaging systems.

Hi Montego528,

Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

Other systems you listed in your post, are running the same version of word that you have (for example MS Word 2007) or they are running something more low (for example MS word 2003).  Cannot open documents that were created using MS word 2007 with a weaker version of this software. However, to resolve this problem, you can either get a copy of MS office 2007 for

Microsoft Store online or you can download the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack that will allow you to open a previous version.

We hope this resolves the issue and look forward to hearing back from you on your results.

  • Windows wants to install updates for Office 2002 and Office XP and I have VISTA and Office 2007

    I have read many topics and I can't seem to find the same problem I have.  I use Windows VISTA Home Premium (32 bit) for awhile and since June 30, 2009, I had bad download and install Windows updates.  I installed updates today, but I continue to be invited to run/install updates for Office XP and Office 2002 (currently about 9).  I used VISTA and Office 2007 for some time.  I believe that I have IE 7 and SP2.  I appreciate any help I can get to fix this.  Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Im running windows vista and office 2007. Many of my files are not open and I get the message "application not found" How can I reapir this?

    I recently had my computer repaired and Office 2007 has been reloaded. Now I get the message "not found when I try to open some files and application for a single file, «windows cannot find the file...»» ».

    If I change the name of the folder, some files were opened.

    In one case, the file opened under the new name [I added a letter], then later not open again - got the same message "application not found" and the Red Cross of death.

    Hi Martin,

    How you try to open the file? You are double clicking on the icon of the file to open or by using the menu file-> the option open in the application to open the file?

    The question is limited to Microsoft Office applications?

  • Unwanted search pane in Word (Windows7, Office 2007), keyboard and then acting weird, unpredictable, F1 key and then does not work. Office 2003 has been removed before installing Office 2007 and Word 2007 seemed ok before that.

    While typing in a Word Windows7 (new office 2007) doc I suddenly get the stream to the right of the screen, not asked for.  Go to the revision, Proofing tab shows the space search button highlighted (never selected by me);  my keyboard (Microsoft!) and then crashes and behaves strangely and I can't seem to do anything. I can't find a way to remove or to move from this unwanted intrusion with the exception of the stop and restart, but it happened again and again.  Got a 3000 Word report to write, going crazy now.  No joy with the help online - in fact the F1 button stops working during these "tricks".  Someone at - it similar problems, or ideas where to go from here?  The most appreciated

    Please note that there is no such thing as a word "Windows 7".
    document ". You're talking about Word 2007 (part of Office 2007) and
    It has nothing to do with Windows 7. Yes, it runs under Windows 7,
    but it can also under other versions of Windows. Word is a
    art of the operating system.

    Ask a question about word in a Windows 7 forum. You are
    much more likely to get the help you're looking for, if you ask
    in a word (or newsgroup) forum since it is the place where the Word experts
    Hang.

  • Problem with Acrobat 9 Pro and Word 2007

    I just installed 9 and cannot print on the Distiller I was able to do with 5.  Word generates the error message: "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the installation of the current printer."

    I reinstalled the software and updates, etc.

    Answer would be most appreciated!

    Thank you!

    I think I posted this issue in Windows Server, which would be probably wrong... Please forgive me for double posting.

    This is because the name of the printer is the printer Adobe PDF, not the Acrobat Distiller printer. It is a name change so that confusion does not exist on the print driver and the program to distill. Create the PDF button is a Preprocess to the printer, as it was in use with WORD AA5. This key, officially called the PDF Maker, adds a lot of functionality, but can add things that are unnecessary and cause bloating. Check the preferences to see what you add.

  • Word 2007 and spell check problem

    I hope that it can be to answer this question because I can't figure it out for the life of me! I have windows vista and word 2007. I noticed that sometimes when I'm using microsoft word checking spelling Auto turns automatically off. It seems to stop just check automatically, and it does not check anything even if I hit "abc" spell check button in the toolbar. When I try this, a dialog box appears and says "text marked with" do not check spelling and grammar "has been ignored.  I can't understand how to reactivate it once it is turned off.  When you open a new blank document spell check will be on, but even by copying and pasting a document that has had its spell checker turned off in a new document does not work. Help!

  • the documents become read-only when I download a document in word 2007

    I'm losing my mind on that, and it's impact on my work (and income). I have windows vista and word 2003, excel 2003 on my laptop. Whenever I have download a word 2007 document (I don't even register on my computer, just download it), ALL of my word and excel docs permutation for 2007!

    They become read-only!
    I have to solve this problem as soon as possible, as I have so many docs that I need to access and change for various reasons that are related to employment.
    Help, please!
    A version of Word 2007 came with the computer, for a trial period. I used it and never sent payment for the product key. I wonder how much it would cost? But anyway, I don't want to buy 2007 when 2010 is out. I probably still have the same problem with the docs 2007 reconfiguration to 2010 docs.

    Well, I think I have your situation sorted.

    You should go to the Control Panel programs and features and uninstall the Word 2007 Home and student if it is a trial. Uninstall the 2007 activation assistant as well. Restart the computer.
    After the computer comes back up, get back in programs and features and perform a repair on your Office 2003 Professional. This involves the selection Office 2003 Pro and clicking change above the list of programs. On the first screen, select repair , and then click continue at the bottom right. Go through the process normally, clicking Next or OK as required.

    This repair procedure will restore all your associations default file for the Office 2003 programs.

  • Movement of cursor eratic with Word 2007

    Hello Gloria!
    I'm doing knowledge with my new HP Compaq and Word 2007.  While I'm typing a normal document, blow and unexplainedly (at least for me) the cursor will move to everywhere else in the document.  At first I thought it must be me, so I looked at my typing very carefully.  Sometimes it was me, but often it was not.  It's very annoying to have a slider with a mind of its own.  I never had this problem with my old computer HP and Word 2003 (which I think I prefer).  Could you help me please?
    In addition, you get paid for this?  If solve you my problem, I'd be happy to send you a cheque for $10.  (I'm not exactly rolling in the dough.)
    Thank you 1 million,
    Tom Milliken
