I created a Word document on my laptop that has Vista and I emailed it to myself. I went to my school which doesn't have Vista (I'm not sure what they have, it's not Vista, but I think it's Word 2007 maybe, not sure??) and it said it can't open it.
Do I have to save it as a different file or something.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Yes. Go to File > Save As and pick the version of Word you have from the file type drop down.

Windows Vista has an option that will allow you to save the document in the Word 2003 Format and you can do that when you do a Save As. That will allow you the option of editing and re saving it as a Word 2003 document even if you edit it in Windows Vista.

You need what is called the office compatibility pack installed on your schools computer as Office 2007 has changed all of the files formats, docx, xlsx, pptx, etc. They are MS version of xml documents. But I doubt you have access rights to download and install software, so you will have to save the file in Word 97 format. click on the ribbon bar and select Save As and then select Word 97.

If you have MS Word 2003 or earlier then you need to download the patch in order to open a file from Word 2007. Go to the Microsoft website to download this patch.

Any computer with Word should open it, as long as it is in a .doc format.
