Re: Want to upgrade to Office 2004 for mac, but...

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

It will save in the new format "if" you go to Save As and select Word format.

As Phillip says you should have no problem opening Word 6 docs with 2004,
but you should also be aware, IIRC, that 2004 doesn't *save* in that format.
It saves in a 6/95 RTF, but it's most likely you'll want to save them in a
current format anyway.

Want to upgrade to the latest version of Office for mac, but will it
beable to open my very old Word v. 6 documents? Read somewhere that
Office 2004 can open documents as far back as Office 98. Have not
been able to confirm that. Word 6 came out in 95. What is the most
current Office product that will open my old documents?
