I just bought a laptop with Windows Vista?

Question

Will my documents from Microsoft Office (old version) be readable by the new Microsoft Office version?

The reason I am asking is my mother tried to read some of her documents and they would not work. The "computer guy" blamed it on Windows Vista-I'm not buying it but would like to know what others think.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer 3

Yes, Microsoft always make sure, although not 100% of the time, that all their new products works with older versions.

Answer 4

Yes, but if you want to open the documents on an older computer or version after you have saved them, you need to resave them as ".doc" instead of ".docx" or it will not transfer properly.
