Using Office 2007 documents in Office 2003 or Office XP

ALL NJIT community members should install the compatibility
pack to ensure the capability of working with the new file types.

The new file format (Open XML) used in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 is incompatible with all previous versions of Office. Microsoft provides a compatibility pack (available below) which gives Office 2003 and Office XP (2002) the ability to work with these files. If you are using an older version of Office (2000 or earlier), the compatibility pack cannot be installed.

To install the compatibility pack, click the link below, click Download on the next page, and then follow the on screen instructions.
