[X4U] Opening Word 2007 Vista on an Intel Mac

[Tim Collier]

Actually there is no problem, it¹s just the method that is being used to
save the file.  Your friend probably has Office 2004?  Office 2007 (PC) and
Office 2008 (Mac) both natively save all files as either .docx or .xlsx and
I imagine Powerpoint saves them as .pptx.  This is support the new
technologies in the newer version of Office.  The simple solution is for
your friend with the PC to choose File>Save As and then opt to save it as
compatible with some of the earlier versions.  It then saves it with a .doc
extension and you can open it in Office 2004.  If she upgraded to Office
2008, it would not be an issue.
