Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 Microsoft has added new file formats to the 2007 Microsoft Office system to reduce file sizes, improve theenCommunityServer 2008.5 SP2 (Build: 40407.4157)http://192.168.2.20/blogs/doverton/archive/2006/07/22/How-to-open-Office-2007-Word_2C00_-Excel-and-PowerPoint-files-in-Office-2003-and-Office-XP.aspx#1042Mon, 14 Aug 2006 12:48:46 GMT72050d9c-4f41-4a16-9f70-ebbf2c98a2c7:1042David Spector<p>I&#39;ve been searching for some way to give Microsoft a simple suggestion for Word. All I can find is support options that cost big bucks! I know this isn&#39;t relevant to your blog, but perhaps you will be a kind person who will send this suggestion to the proper place for me. </p><p>Anyway, my suggestion is very simple: Microsoft Word needs a new command-line option to open a file in read-only mode! It should create a read-only shortcut that uses it, when installed. More complex designs involving access rights might not be understood by new Office users or perceived as user-friendly. </p><p>(Sorry this isn&#39;t on the cutting edge, but I think protection from changing the contents of a document has its place.) </p><p>David </p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://192.168.2.20/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1042" width="1" height="1">
