Hello,

Three questions, please:

a. Will the older WORD 2003 open up a text document created and saved in
WORD 2007 ?

b. Not sure what version comes with a new PC, but will the word processor
in MS WORKS open
up a text document created in WORD 2003

- same question, but text document was created In WORD 2007 ?

Much thanks,
Bob

Word 2007 can create docs in the older format

Not on its own, but if you download and install the compatibility pack, it'll
be able to.

No version of Works or Word necessarily comes with a new PC.

But apparently there are Office 12 (2007) converters available for older
Works versions:
