I have Vista and Word 2007..
and fortunately there is no conflict with either at the company I work for. I know how you feel though; knowing what I know now I would not have "upgraded" from XP or Word 2003 when I got my new computer. Good luck.
Word 97 thru 2007 can be run on vista.

Word 97 thru 2007 all work fine on Vista.

Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.

Also was told Office 2007 is meant for Vista.
It requires a lot more power than most machines have with Windows XP.
I have never found a program shorthand does not work with, it works outside the program (I think tha

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.
You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.
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.
In Word 2007, you can add Word count to the status bar.
Right-click the status bar and select Word count. Once it appears on the status bar, you can double-click it to bring up the statistics dialog box that shows characters. You can also find this option on the Review tab, Proofing group, Word Count.
What is the best anti-virus program for Vista?
As you know if you have Vista, it has a pretty good security system built right in, the Windows firewall and Defender antispyware. Is it necessary to go with a antivirus program with this system? Have never had good luck with them. Years back my computer crashed and it slowed it way down and actually brought more bad on board than did any good. What is a good one that is cheap or free and uses very little system reserves? I know this is kind of a technical question but any feedback would be appreciated.
GearPlayer works w/Vista
My puter died 2 weeks ago and I had to get a Vista. I called GearPlayer the other day and they walked me through the patch they have and I have been working fine since. I had to take myself off as Administrator though and hope that isn't a problem in the future. Good luck; installing everything back on including my Virus software was a pain. I don't know why Microsoft does this to us!
I know Spellex works with Vista
I have Vista and Office 2007 not buy choice it came preloaded with my new computer. I called Spellex and they sent me a new download link for the 2007 edition. You can go to there website and download a trial. I hope this helps! :)
Which Spellchecker works with Vista?
Can anyone tell me which medical spellchecker works with Vista? I have Stedmans, but it does not work with Vista. Thanks
Mine works with Vista
That's what I had to do is download that codec and mine works on .dss files. That's all I get from my neurologist
Version 10 only works with Vista. You need 9 for XP.

PRD is a DOS program. I don't think it work with Word, a Window's program.

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?
Full Word is in the Works "Suite," not plain Works.
Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.
Company requested not downloading Vista as it will not work with our program.

Word 2007 is the best
I used office 2003 pro since it came out and hated it. It was so slow. I just got the new office 2007 and it is MUCH better than any other version of office.
Word 2007
Thanks for the info!
Word 2007
If I buy Word 2007, can I put it on more than one computer in my house or is the license restricted to just one computer? Thanks for sharing if you know the answer.

Has anyone had any issues; good, bad or indifferent, on Word 2007.

Word 2007
I updated to Word 2007 - I took the time to watch the learning videos and was able to create new macros and boilerplate very nicely.
But I have lost all my add-in word books and dictionaries that were in my tool bar. Does anyone know how to get them back?
Word 2007 sm
Word 2007 or Office 2007 was made for Vista and, I believe, is not compatible with Word 2003 or Office 2003. Perhaps they have another file conversion tool on their site. This is the only reason why I cannot upgrade to 2007, although I would love to. There are many platforms and programs that are not compatible with it, as yet, either. It is MS way of trying to *force* the general public to upgrade to Vista, which I think stinks, but there are so many programs and companies that just are not ready for the change. They will also soon stop support for XP home edition, as well, but will continue supporting XP pro for a while yet. good luck to you.
Word 2007
Could users of Word 2007 share what you think of it, please. Do you like it, hate it, etc. How does it compare with other Word versions? Thank you.
RE: Word 2007
It is ok. You just have to learn how to work it. It works a lot different than the other. You have to learn where everything is. But, I am using it and not much trouble with it. The old one was the best one.
word 2007 Help
I am just switching to word 2007 from word 2000. Can someone please tell me how to copy and paste in 2007?
word 2007 help
I am trying to start using word 2007. There are a lot of things that I copy and paste. When I copy (ctrl+c) it does copy but when I try to paste (ctrl + V) it does not paste. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
word 2007 Help
I am trying to get used to Word 2007. When I try to copy (CTL +C) and paste it will not paste with CTL + V. I have to use the mouse and click on the paste button. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Word 2007
Word 2007 does have its issues/quirks. We are having problems with its compatibility with our programs too.
If you can locate a copy of Word 2003, I recommend you get one. I bought a copy from e-bay. It was used, but I only paid $40 for it, and it works just fine. You can still have Word 2007 or other versions on your computer too, just don't overwrite your other versions is you are able to find a copy of 2003.
Word 2007
Good point. Thanks.
Word 2007
I got mine at Best Buy for $100. It is not the business version, but works fine.
Thanks, I just got word 2007
and still trying to figure out where everything is. Who knew it would be/look so different?
FYI Blew motherboard. Need new puter. Was told not to get Vista as not compatible with work program

Word 2007 Macros
When you open your Word document, there should be an option in the toolbar above that says "Developer." Enter Alt F8 to view your macros, but I think you have to manually hit the Record Macro to enter new macros.
p.s. I prefer the previous Word version over this "new" one.
Word 2007 installed and...
I lost my Stedman's and all of my auto corrects, but everything else seemed to be alright :)
I had to reinstall Stedman's and thank goodness I backed everything up so I had my auto corrects!!
Does anyone use abacus with Word 2007? sm
I've used abacus 2.1 for years. Now I have Vista with Word '07 and I was told that 2.1 and 3.0 would work, but either would be hard to configure. I'm not sure what that really means and would like to hear from anyone who is using it about problems or advice.

Help Microsoft Word 2007
Does anyone know how to change a title of a document? I have named my document and I have to change the name.
Thank you very much!

Microsoft Word 2007
I had to do recovery on my computer and I added a newer Microsoft Office. This is MUCH different than my old version so I wanted to see if anyone can help me out. On old version if I used AutoText for saving smaller things after typing a couple of letters it would pop up with the info that I wanted. I can't figure out if this new version does that or not. From what I have read I can't find that it does, but if anyone has any information that it does still do this it would be greatly appreciated!
Word 2007 and 2003
Hello,
I have word 2007 and I know I need 2003 so does anyone know where you can find it or what to do? I would appreciate it and thank you very much.

Most places do not use word 2007
If you choose to upgrade. I have both 2003 and 2007 (yes you can run both at the same time on Vista) and never use 2007 anymore. It says you can save the document as 97-2003 but a lot gets changed in trasmission anyway.
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?
Not with Word 2007. That feature is gone.
