IT Queries: Computer problems answered

IS IT POSSIBLE TO OPEN A FILE THAT WAS CREATED IN A NEWER VERSION OF WINDOWS ON OLDER VERSION OF WORD?

First, don’t type in caps, it’s the Internet equivalent of shouting. See our email etiquette guide for more information on this. 

Yes, it is and we’ve discussed it previously when answering the I can’t read Office 2007 documents query.

One thing to keep in mind is that really old versions of Word may not work with the Office compatibility kit so you may have to install the Microsoft Word reader instead.
