It seems that these Word 95-2003 doc files produced by Word 2007 still contain some xml code that can cause problems. As I said I have not encountered the problem myself but am concerned and trying to avoid problems since I send a lot of Word files to various people who do not have Word 2007 and am trying to figure out the best way to do it.

From: Graham Mayor on 1 Apr 2010 10:12 There is no XML code saved with the document. What is saved is a reference to the document template. If the document template is 'Normal' then there should not be an issue. If the document template is a Word 2007 format template other than normal, then you will see the issue described in the link. The answer is to either base your shared documents on the normal template or on a DOT format template. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> <Jeff(a)nospam.fake> wrote in message news:uPpVaxZ0KHA.5512(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > On 4/1/2010 2:26 AM, Graham Mayor wrote: >> <Jeff(a)nospam.fake> wrote in message >> news:en3Z%23mS0KHA.3708(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >>>> >>> Although I have not yet encountered the problem (my Word 2007 is too >>> new) >>> I have read that the Doc form (Word 97-2003) created by Word 2007 is not >>> a >>> pure Word 97-2003 doc and sometimes can still not be opened by an >>> earlier >>> Word.
