In Word 2007, Windows 7, when I view folders holding many documents created
in Windows XP, Word 2002 and other programs, nothing is displayed. How do I
make all documents visible, regardless of version?
From: Jay Freedman on
In the Open dialog, to the right of the file name box is a dropdown
for the type of files to display. Make sure that's set to All Files
(*.*) or All Word Documents, or maybe to Word 97-2003 Documents
(*.doc). If it's set to Word Documents (*.docx) then it will show
*only* those files.
