Why do older versions not open in newer versions?

Microsoft Office Excel 2007 now includes a new open XML format for office use. This has allowed for better data quality and file management while also reducing the files size. XML uses ZIP compression to store documents. The new XML format has been integrated into Microsoft Office. This means that the documents will not be supported by older versions of Microsoft Office.

How can I open Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 files from older versions?

To open new versions of Word and Excel files, you'll need to download the Microsoft Office Compatibility pack. The compatibility pack allows you to open, edit, and save documents and files in any version you need. This compatibility pack can also be used with Microsoft Office Word Viewer 2003 and Excel Viewer 2003. Before downloading the compatibility package, make sure you have all high-priority updates from Microsoft Update installed on your system.
