Re: how the heck can I get office 2003 back after uninstalling off

Firstly: JoAnn Paules, I installed the program to see what it was like,
something I am sure I am not the only person to have done. & Its irrelivant
to uninstalling the program to reinstall office 2003.

ok. I installed it, now I get a window that says that the program is not
registered (I activated it using the key that was allocated with the
magazine). I often try new progras to see what they are like tho. All I want
is to uninstall the program & go back to Office 2003. Ive uninstalled it from
my sons computer before the trial period ran out. No problems. Unfortunately
on my PC, the trial period did expire, it now opens, but I cant use it. I can
see what word document it is, but I cant type, copy or paste. I uninstalled
2007 to go back to 2003, only to find when I reinstalled 2003, it now wont
install word, excel, etc.

Hi Dim,

There is a beta of the Twin-Pack downloads (File Format Awareness and Compatability/Converter set) that will add the ability to
read/write Office 2007 files in Office XP and Office 2003. Both parts of the Twin-Pack should be installed together.
http://microsoft.com/office/preview/beta/converter.mspx
There will be a final version when MS Office 2007 is released and while it *should* be able to work with any of the .docx, .docm,
etc files created in the Office 2007 Beta 2 file format there aren't any guarantees that this will be true (i.e. fixing a bug from
Beta 2 may cause an issue with a file created in Beta 2).

You can save all of the files in Beta 2 in Office 2007 legacy formats using File=>Save as and/or by setting the default file formats
to the classic ones in the options dialog for each app (File=>[app] Options)

a further question but on related theme (and can work out how to reply here
but not make new post)...

have installed beta, but thinking ahead if i decide either not to conintue
with the beta, or to not purchse in the future and revert to office 2003, is
there a tool to convert office 2007 files to office 2003 format, or is there
a patch for office 2003 to allow it to read office 2007 files..

just occured to me that anything done using 2007 will not open in previous versions of office... <<
