Hello,

I know that MS put an Office 2007 compatibility pack for Office 2003
so that 2003 users could open the new 2007 formats. Is there an
equivalent compatibility pack or set of converters for Office 2004 for
the Mac?

Thank you.

Hi Dr. Q,

At the moment Microsoft has not released converters for Office 2004. The Mac
Business Unit has said they plan to release converters as soon as they can.
My hope is sometime in the spring.

Meanwhile there's a web site that can help, but it has some limitations:
http://docx-converter.com/

The best option is for the moment is to ask Office 2007 users to continue to
use .Doc format (they can save to this file format and change their
preferences to use .doc as the default) until Microsoft has provided
converters for everyone and people have had a chance to install them.

Thanks Jim. I was afraid that might be the answer but figured I should
check.
