I just got a new laptop this summer before going to college, a HP Pavilion Entertainment Notebook PC with Windows Vista. Anyway, it came with a free, limited use (60 day, maybe?) version of Microsoft Office, including Word. Anyway, it warned me that after October 31st it would go to a limited-use version that was only a viewer. So, I uninstalled it and installed a full copy of Microsoft Office, in this case a 2002 version according to the About file.
Now, with my Word 2007 program, I mostly saved documents in the 97-2003 format. However, I saved 12 documents in Word 2007's default "DOCX File" format. Well, turns out those aren't backwards compatable. Word 2002 won't read them, and Notebook and Wordpad just give gobiltygook when I try to open it with them.
So, is there any way I could convert the files to an earlier version of word, or open them with something and copy the text to a Word 2002 document?
