I am someone who is always working
on multiple computers which are running different versions of MS Office.
At work, I’m on Office 2007, but at home I’m working on an ancient
version. To help me view Office 2007 documents in my old version
of Office, I’ve downloaded the Office Compatibility Pack from Microsoft.
It’s available here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/HA101686761033.aspx
Once you have installed the Office
Compatibility Pack, you will be able to view Office 2007 files without
many issues. Some of the features of 2007 files are not supported, but
at least you will be able to view the document.
