Opening MS Office 2007 Files With MS Office 2004

If you receive MS Office files that were created with MS Office 2007 (docx, pptx, xlsx) and can't open them, you will need to get the "Open XML File Format Converter for Mac". The most recent version (as of 12/9/2008) is available here.

You can find step-by-step instructions for the NCCE supported Macs, on the NCCE Intranet.

Addition: For MS Office 2003 users on MS Windows - get the "Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats" - be sure to read and follow the instructions on the page.
