opening Office 07 files

If you have Office 07, you probably already know that you can save in '03 and '07 versions only, and that earlier versions of Office will not open your Office 07 files.

The good news?  The ASC (Academic Success Center) at each campus has a cluster of computers with Office 07 Viewer installed.  This means you can go into your ASC, open your Office 07 files, and print them.

You can also install a plug-in for Word 07 that allows you to save your file as a *.pdf, so other people can open it with a free Adobe Acrobat plug-in.  Another way to make sure your non0Office07 friends and faculty can open your files?  Save as *.rtf (rich text format).
