What? Word 97 can read back to Word 2 and probably Word 1.1 for Windows,
as well as Word 5 for DOS etc. Word 97 can write Word 95 format too if
you get the service pack (95 writing support is a bit broken without it),
and Word 2 too I think.

Word warns you that the document contains macros before opening it and
gives you the option of removing them.
