Re: opening Office X .doc on Office XP?

[Glenn Schunemann]

Check the Office X "Save as" dialog box for various versions of Word to 
save it as. It was my understanding that these two different versions 
of Office were supposed to play nice. If the docs don't have too much 
fancy stuff in them, you could always save as rich text format (rtf)...

Is there something that has changed?

Always Office98 Word .docs (Mac) would open in Office 2000 and XP just 
fine, and vice versa mostly.

I've got OS X and Office X now, I've sent my wife 1 word .doc that she 
could not read in Office XP (workflow was: she sent me a .doc, I 
edited, resaved, sent back, it's not readable by OfficeXP), and one of 
her students just sent her another OfficeX document that again she 
can't read (I've not yet received it on my Mac to test it there).

Is this the return of the bad old days of willful incompatibility?
