Re: Viewing Office 2007 files

Hi,
It's so annoying that Ms changes its file format again and people
started
to jumping ships. I can't view any of the Office 2007 files that
people
sent me. What's your solution to it (word and excel)?
Thanks
You could kindly notify them that, while you have the latest softwares
installed on your "office" computer, you don't have them installed on
your laptop/netbook, and can't install them on your smartphone. Given
that you're, say, a freelancer who's a lot on the road, it would enable
you to get back to them sooner (hours, days, and sometimes weeks
sooner) if they could kindly send you more "universal" document
formats. You could even hint that, according to certain Internet
reports, some of the newest formats are still quite buggy, or support
certain features in a less than satisfying measure, or even have
unresolved vulnerabilities.
Several good points in case may be found in:
