Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008Converting Word 97-2003 document to Word 2007
I use Vista and want to know how to open a file that was originally in Word 97 – 2003 to open in Vista Word 2007 and how to convert that file to the Word 2007 format. When I searched Microsoft on this issue, it said to click on Start and look for the word convert. When I did that I could not find the work convert.

I was doing proofing for someone who was using 2003, so wasn't converting, but could see where "Convert" was -- thought you needed to convert from 2003 to 2007. C'est la vie! ;) Lesley >I use Vista and want to know how to open a file that was originally in Word >97 2003 to open in Vista Word 2007 and how to convert that file to the Word >2007 format. >When I searched Microsoft on this issue, it said to click on Start and look >for the word convert. When I did that I could not find the work convert. You might try asking this in a group dedicated to Office problems: microsoft.public.office.misc Nonny - Thanks for the reply. If Lesley can't help me, I'll post on the other forum. Jerry > You might try asking this in a group dedicated to Office problems: > > microsoft.public.office.misc Hi Jerry, You should be able to just open the file in Word 2007. You will only see the convert button if you are viewing a document that was created or saved as a previous version of Word.  SignaturePaul > Nonny - > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > > > microsoft.public.office.misc Paul – Thanks for your feedback. My mistake was looking for the word create for a file that did not need to change. I feel a little foolish that I did not figure it out. However, you said my Word 97 – 2003 files should convert automatically when I use Word 2007. And, they all seem to do that. However, this one file did not. And when I went through the steps to convert it to Word 2007, the file did convert, but some of the information was missing. This particular file had different formats in it and I suspect the conversion was not able to convert them all successfully. Thanks, Jerry > Hi Jerry, > You should be able to just open the file in Word 2007. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > > > > > microsoft.public.office.misc You are welcome.
