To put things in perspective, many of these formats are very old, with some dating back over 15 years since the app that created them by default shipped. Something I want to be very clear about – we are *not* removing your ability to read these files. If you need them, the parsers *are* still there. All we've changed is the default. The older formats are still supported. We understand that some of you have a need to be able to read archived files, sometimes for long periods, and we will continue to support that. There are two ways to continue to open these files: - You can create a trusted location and place the files there. This is documented in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922849. It's an easier process if you're running Office 2007 than if you're on Office 2003, but it is an available option. - You can change the default version that we'll still open, which is discussed in more detail below. There are more urls for dealing with archives in the same blog.
