2007 not compatible with 2003--sm
Posted By: ks on 2008-02-09
In Reply to: normal.dot confusion... plz help! - moMT
but there is a file conversion tool available. Whether this would affect the normal.dot file, I have no idea. Better check with microsoft word on that one. go to MS website, they have a lot of info about 2007

Word 2007 not compatible
I was so happy when a friend surprised me by buying me a version of Office 2007 so that I could have Word 2007 (I'd been slugging along using Word 2000 which was sooo slow).
But now that I'm actively job hunting, I'm seeing more and more ads stating that various platforms are NOT compatible with Word 2007!
Does anyone know why?
I do not use 2003--have 2007, but have--sm
looked under the help option to see if there is anything there that would help you?
Also when you shut down for the day, do you get a msg asking if you want to save changes made to your normal? If so, do you click yes?
does work in 2003 and 2007
I have Smartype and I use MS word 2003 and 2007 and it works in both programs (and on Vista). Personally I wouldn't trade it for the world!!! I tried just about every Expander program out there and I just clicked with this one. Email me privately if you wish with more questions.
What does this have to do with 2007 compatibility with 2003?
I open 2003 documents every day in 2007 on my Vista machine. I can open 2007 documents in 2003 on my old XP machine because I have the compatibility pack installed. You can also set the 2007 default to save down to 97 thru 2003.

Office 2003 versus 2007
Hi,
I am still working in Office 2003 but have been considering Office 2007. Is anyone using this? Do you like it? Do you know if programs like Shorthand, Abacus, and other transcription programs work with it? Is it possible to have Office 2003 and Office 2007 on the same computer without interfering with the one another??
Your 2003 documents look the exact same way when you open them in 2007. sm
You don't lose any documents. Compatibility mode just means your document does not change to the new 2007 file structure and you can't use any new 2007 features in that document. "Compatibility mode" shows on the title bar so you know which format you are working in. If you want the new file structure, you just do a save as. If you want to convert the document back to 2003 so others without 2007 can open your documents, you can do that too.
The new Ribbon instead of toolbars is very different and takes some time to learn how it works, but everything you have ever known about Word is still there. I haven't had a hard time with 2007 because the majority of old keyboard shortcuts still work.
It's always in your best interest to back up your documents whether you are switching to a new version or not.
Info/help on open Word 2007 docx with Word 2003.
I have a friend who sent me a document with .docx extension, presumably Word 2007. I can open it in Word 2003; however, all I see are musical notes and highlighting, no text (this is a document with words and highlighting only, no pictures, music notes, etc.). I tried to open this with Notepad and only see the usual gibberish.
I know I opened another 2007 Word doc before and I remember seeing the converter load at that time but that was probably a year ago. Is there something that has changed that I'm not aware of?
Darn Microsoft.
I dunno about Word 2007 but Word 2003
has AutoCorrect, which is probably what you're meaning. When you program a macro, it records your Keystrokes and actions and is more complicated than what you're needing.
In Word 2003, type the word/phrase you want (i.e., degenerative disc disease) then highlight it. Go to Tools, AutoCorrect Options, and your highlighted word should be in the "with" box. Type your shortcut (i.e., ddd) in the "replace" box. Click Add then OK. To use the new entry, just type what you put in the replace box (ddd). No other keys necessary. I would guess it should be about the same in Word 2007.
Hope that helps! Feel free to email if you have more questions...
Word 2007, Word 2002, or 2003
How many transcriptionists have switched to these versions of Word? I am still using Word 2000, and it works well for me, but have been offered job with a company that uses Word 2007, and another company that will let you use Word 2002 or 2003. I am fighting this and am at the point where I just might not accept a new job because of this change. I can't imagine why they would want to change from Word 2000. Your opinions, please. Thank you.
Office 2003 so far, but going to Office 2007 as soon as I can. nm

Word 2003 and Word 2007....
If you have Word 2003 and upgrade to Word 2007 - will you still be able to access your Word 2003 documents?
I am still kinda confused on this as everything I have read about this states that the Word 2003 files will be opend in a "compatibility" form, as opposed to normal.
Would it be in my best interest to save the Word 2003 files to a disk first?

Changing Excel 2003 Addresses Into Word 2003 Addresses
Hello !
I have a large amount of addresses listed on an Excel 2003 spreadsheet. I need these addresses for Word 2003 letters. I end up copying the address from Excel and pasting it into Word, but as you can imagine, the pasted address is in a straight line and I end up having to type the address so it displays correctly for a letter. Does anyone know if there is a simple way to change the Excel address format to a Word letter address format? Thank you for your help.
They are not compatible. nm.

Sorry, they are compatible.

It's very compatible with Word, and quite
similar to Autotext/Autocorrect. That's why I like it better than IT. Download the free 3-day trial offer to see how you like it.
SmartType compatible with DQS
Has anyone had any luck getting SmartType to work with MQ DQS? 
No you don't have to buy it. If you don't have a compatible player - sm
that can play "PlayAll" files then they will supply the PlayAll XTRA player, though they do ask you send them a CD for it I believe. They supply the WP DOS 5.1, Stedman's Spellcheck via email. That is why I said don't let the question throw you, you don't have to buy anything.....unless you are new of course, then you will need a footpedal. Bytescribe is compatible with the sound files and that is what I use, I also have a copy of the PlayAll which I use to pull up the file information I need to transcribe, but it won't work if you have Bytescribe on your computer. I love my Bytescribe so it stays. They will train in in the use of WP 5.1 and they hire newbies too. I started to work for them with 2 months of experience....it will be 4 years in May since I began working for them. As I said good people, I appreciate them as much as they appreciate me.

Is Escription 3 compatible with
I have MS Word 2002 and I know that it is not compatible with Escription 8 which is what I am going to have to start using Monday. I have a Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 disk that came with my laptop. So....my question is.....will MS Word 2007 Home and Student work with Escription 8? My next question is do I need to uninstall my MS Word 2002 before I install MS Word 2007 or will the Word 2007 overwrite the 2002? Any help with this would be wonderful

Are wav pedals compatible with all programs?
I'm looking to invest in one since I see a lot of jobs require you to have one. I was wondering if there was a brand out there that is compatible with most programs. I see some ads say they must have the Start-Stop one and so on. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you! Do you know if DocQscribe is compatible w/ satellite? nm

.dss files are not compatible with wav players--sm
They need to be *converted* for WAV players to be able to play them. your wav player may have a conversion tool within it. If it has a *tool* button, open that. It will not automatically play them and saving your files in Word will not convert them to wav files. you have to do that manually. good luck.
MS Works and MS Word are NOT compatible. SM
If you do a document in MS Works and try to open it as an MS Word document all you will get is machine code. So if you are transcribing for someone who wants the files and they have MS Word, they will not be able to do anything with them (except pull their hair out).
The newest Stedman's is compatible.

Please let us know if your software is compatible with Vista and thank you.
It seems that companies would hurry up and get compatible with Vista, as they would have more choice in MT's in their hiring process.
Hoping companies will get their VPN, etc. compatible soon.
Vista is so smart and fast -- at least my computer is !
Vista is still not compatible with most platforms currently.
I have yet to see a platform compatible with MAC and if you look at the job ads when listing needed equipment they all say PC.
Stedman's is compatible with Vista. I use it. nm

Hope that helps :-)
Any version of WordPerfect will be compatible. nm
Also, if buying an analog TV, get the facts if it will be compatible or not...(nm)

I'm getting set up for DQS and I was told by tech that Smartype is not compatible but(sm)
Shorthand and PDR or PDS (whatever it is, I don't have) would work. I have Smartype too and it's a pain that it won't work. I was told by others here that what is on the DQS is sufficient. Hope that's true for me too. Good luck.
Accordign to Microsoft, it is XP and Vista compatible.

True, but I've checked out the one I need and it's compatible
Start-Stop is on the list of compatible programs for the particular model I need. Thanks for the input though!
Don't think so. So many new programs/software aren't DOS compatible. nm

Misys, compatible shorthand programs
Does anyone know if ShortHand or InstanText is compatible with Misys? If not, are any other 'shorthand' programs compatible?
Not sure, but I started wtih a new company as an IC and they said they were not compatible
with 2007 and that I had to have 2003 or older to use. I think the majority of companies out there are not using the newest version.
I have the Infinity, have found it compatible with just about everything, it is great!.....NM
