Open MS Office 2007 Documents in Older Version of MS Office

Microsoft office compatibility Pack is one of the Must install if you are running Microsoft Office Pririor to MS Office 2007.

The Office 2007 application such as Word, Excle, PowerPoint, will no more than use the Older File Extention like .doc for Word, in fact the new Word 2007 uses .docx as its Default format…

So even if you dont have any thing to do with MS Office 2007 but your clients of contacts may use the new office now when they save a file ex. in Word 2007, they will find file saved as Default format .docx, so when you receive such file this free update will allow your older Office setup, like Office 2000, Office XP and 2003 to access those files and open them for you…

Download the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats.

But I heard the new file extension is just a zip file containing the original .doc file.
So can’t we just extract it using WinZip or WinRAR??

I dont think that those new files are ZIP or RAR, I tried them open in word xp but it asked me to install this download file mentioned here
