The computer I'm working on does not have a printer and uses Microsoft Word 2007. I am sending the document to a computer that uses Word 2003 so that I can print it. Will this work?
Another question: is there any way to set up a printer without the disc it originally came with? I can't find the disc and the printer hooks up using a USB cable. I've connected it to the computer, but it asks me to insert the disc. Is there any way to make it recognize the printer without the disc?

All you have to do is save the word 2007 document, which is a .docx (similar to an xml format), to a word 97-2003 document, which is a .doc. You have the option when you hit save as. Just click the window icon on the top left hand corner and hover the mouse over the Save As option and a menu will come up that has options to save the document in a variety of formats, choose word 97-2003 document.
You can try to download the installation files from the manufacturer's site or try calling customer support and explain the situation to try to get a manual sent to you.

1) No. Get the free Office 2007 Converter from Microsoft.
2) Go to the Printer Manufacturer's website to get the free printer drivers.

Word 2003 needs you to save your files in 2007 as 2003 format for full compatibility. Down load the drivers for your printer from the manufactureres website

your first question concerning word 2007. YOu can save your document as a rich text formatt so when you send it to the printer it will have the same formatt. For the printer, i don't think there is a way to use your printer without the CD. Try to contact the manufacturer.

For the first question, Yes.
Second question, no. Unless you download the driver. Go to the printer's manufacturer website and search for your printer's model and download the driver for that Printer
You have a great day.

Yes, Office 2k7 Compactible with office2k3 & XP also.
But you can save as Office 2k3 and xp format only.
Otherwise it can save .docx
Word 2k3 and other older vertions document extention .doc
so every time you can go to file --save as--office2k3 format.
.docx format cannot recognize work 2003 and older ver.,
And without Printer Driver disk you can install dirvers.
You can download drivers from internet.
For that you can go the printer company site like HP.com.,,
Or go to http://driverdb.com/ or like these sites.
You can download those drivers and copy in Usb drive or other moveable media. copy in your system.
specify the location of drivers.
