Converting/printing vista formatted docs
Looking for help with some email docs that I have received in vista format. They include labels & excel spreadsheets. Is it possible to convert them somehow to enable me to print them out from Windows 2003 or 2007? I asked the sender to save them as Windows 1997-2003 format & resend them but even then when I try to print those out the label setup is altered. Thanks Peter -- peter wyatt |

Ask this in microsoft.public.office.misc or in microsoft.public.excel.misc |

Thanks Peter Save as and select the older format from the drop down menu and email the document saved in the older format. |

Then you're most likely referring to Microsoft Office file formats. That's something completely different, and the underlying version of Windows is largely irrelevant. You would be better served by seeking assistance in a more appropriate newsgroup, one dedicatged to Microsoft Office. Is it possible to convert them somehow to enable me to print them out from Windows 2003 or 2007? No, but only because, once again, there is no such thing as "Windows 2003 or 2007." If you're referring to Office files, then yes, of course there is. I asked the sender to save them as Windows 1997-2003 format.... Again, can't be done. There is no such thing as "Windows 1997-2003 format." .... resend them but even then when I try to print those out the label setup is altered. First, you need to tell us which specific version of Microsoft Office you have installed. There is a compatibility package available from Microsoft that would enable a user of Office 2003 to open Office 2007 files. If the formatting of the labels is altered, the sender would have to correct that before sending them to you in the older file format. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand Russell The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers. ~ Denis Diderot |
